Flagstaff, AZ. is the home of the band and the air up there at 7,000 is crucial to their elevated stylings - "The City to Hot", " I -Man Gonna Cool Out", "Up On The Mountain Top" ! This sky island situated in the Four Corners region of the Southwestern US is bound by unparalleled beauty and high desert culture, both of which make their way into the SUMMIT DUB sound. The crew's first big show was opening up for the late Joseph Hill and world renowned roots reggae super-group Culture in late 2006. The vibe was righteous that evening and energies of the Summit Dub Squad were released unto the world. That was the stepping off point and since then the crew has transformed from a turntable and drum machine-based project into a full-fledged stage band. The founding members, DJ SOE and B Dub, have worked together for close to a decade now, originally in the positive Hip Hop project GREENHOUSE FRESH PRODUCE. After the other GREENHOUSE FRESH PRODUCE emcees (Arek & Train) moved from Flagstaff, SOE and B Dub were eager to keep making music, and along came DUB DOCTA PAUL with his bass guitar. The three lived together on Summit Avenue and the foundation for SUMMIT DUB SQUAD was born. In 2007 HUNTER E. REDDAY joined the ranks. RedDay had toured with various reggae acts, traveling across the United States, playing percussion and now with the Summit crew he also plays electric guitar, flute and sings as well. CONOR BAILIE is just the drummer SUMMIT DUB SQUAD needed, someone with reggae band history, deep musical knowledge, desire for progression and the ability to deliver a seriously solid beat. These five souls bring their individual styles together to create music that seems to transcend genre, blending hip hop with reggae, funk with dub, dance with listen.
