Reggae Act of the South Florida Music Scene. They capture the essence of the Classic Reggae Sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards, bluesy guitar licks and multi-part vocal harmonies…then blend it with modern songwriting craftsmanship to create their own familiar-yet-purely-original take on World Music.

Each of the individuals in the Resolvers contributes to a greater sum. Brother and sister Ojay & Sahara Smith are the vocal engines of the band with Reggae Music flowing through their veins. They are the siblings Jamaican Singer/Songwriter – Ernie Smith.

Steave Nieratka puts his mad-scientist persona into his Bass lines to create sophisticated outer-galactic grooves. Nate Largent is a modern-day shaman with a drumming range as wide as the cultural pallet of our world. The bonding elements that hold it all together comprise of a passion for “back-to-the-basics” approach to the creation of great music, an urge to spread an honest and positive message, and a belief that every single person on earth should be free to pursue his/her dreams. Currently, they are in the process of recording their first Full-Length Album…all while taking on a demanding performance schedule of more than 120 shows a year. After releasing their first 5-song EP which continues to generate excitement since mid-2008, they made their international debut when they were invited to perform at the 2009 Jamaican Jazz & Blues Festival followed by embarking on a California tour where they were warmly welcomed. They were hand-picked to play at Florida’s largest festival – Sunfest 2009 and were voted-by-popular-demand to play the first annual DubFest.
