This quintet is made up of members from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Hawaii and their pride for their various Pacific Islander heritages are prominently displayed in Common Kings’ special brand of reggae rock. The California-based band received a Grammy nomination for best reggae album for its debut LP, 2017’s Lost in Paradise, and has been steadily releasing comprehensive works and singles since.

Common Kings heads on its nationwide “Road to Maui” tour in support of its sophomore album Celebration, which was released earlier this year. Singer-songwriter Jakobs Castle—who is the son of Sublime’s original singer Bradley Nowell—and Jacksonville-based reggae-pop act Cloud9 Vibes opens for Common King’s St. Pete gig.

Tickets to see Common Kings, Jakobs Castle, and Cloud9 Vibes play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Thursday, Oct. 19 are still available and cost $22.
