Denver guitarist and vocalist Dave Halchak decided to put together a group of musicians to celebrate the music of Bob Marley, and pay tribute to the songs by creating some exciting jams, and throwing one fine party. The result was a show in February of 2013 on Marley's Birthday. The chemistry of this newfound group in rehearsal plus the success of the show inspired this new concept for a tribute band: Wake Up and Live. Wake Up and Live pushes the boundaries of your normal tribute band by taking the music of Bob Marley into uncharted improvisational moments. This and the stellar arrangements create a unique and powerful twist on the Marley catalog. The Denver based band has and continues to make their mark on the premier
stages of Colorado and beyond as they continue to spread the love and positive message. The band features Dave Halchak on guitar and lead vocals, Keith Hicks on lead guitar and vocals, LaSha and Jamie Jay on vocals, Andrew Martin on keyboards, Neil Ross on bass and J.R Ranck on drums. There are sometimes featured percussionists, horn players and additional sounds as well so be sure to check them out in your town soon!
