Father Sun embodies the true spirit of reggae with a blend of experienced artistry and youthful energy. Father Sun’s repertoire encompasses reggae covers and original compositions, each note carrying the authentic vibe of the genre. Their performances are not mere musical exhibitions; they are heartfelt celebrations of life and the universal language of music. Join Father Sun on their musical odyssey, where the essence of reggae is embraced and shared, connecting soul and spreading positivity wherever their music is heard.

Laying the bassline of this musical journey is Janiah Allen, a seasoned musician known for his collaborations with Alliens, Music Road Co, Solazo, Jordan Harman & the Humble Brags, Sol Roots and The Ambassador. Alongside Janiah is his son, Nyo Allen, whose exceptional drumming skills bring life to Father Sun’s beats. From an early age, Nyo developed a love for rhythm, and he lays down a solid foundation for the band.

Janiah & Nyo’s original compositions are rooted in reggae traditions and infused with modern creativity. They are joined by guitarist Aram Skenderian, whose melodic prowess adds depth and dimension to their music.

Billy Steele is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Southwest Virginia with enough pop sensibility to pull at your heart strings, but also make you tap your feet. He loves to express himself through original work, but loves to hit you with familiar cover tunes as well to help you get to know who inspired him.

He’s a songwriter for the working class hero, and the arm chair philosopher.

Enjoy his wide array of selections and original compositions for a night that is sure to be a lot of fun.

He was previously a member of both The Antecedents and Aside Oceans.

In addition to a plant swap on Saturday from 1:00-4:00 PM and a native plant raffle on Saturday at 5:00 PM, event host, Nursery Natives (501c3 nonprofit) is offering a range of plant packages available for a recommended donation that can be reserved ahead of time or selected in-person on Saturday, April 12th.
