Everyday Prophets is dance music with depth. Take a reggae foundation and twist it with modern breakbeat, dancehall, and rock and out comes a fresh sound for a new time.

Based in Portland Oregon, Everyday Prophets is a five-piece band that has provided conscious dance music to the Northwest since 2002. With two studio albums and one live double-disc release, the Prophets draw from nearly fifty original songs for live performances. Their new studio album âBetween Two Worldsâ, to be released early 2007, blends their growing influences of modern electronica, hip-hop, and dancehall, with their already established reggae and rock influences. They are currently poised to take their act beyond the Northwestern U.S.

Everyday Prophets is:

Aaron Green: Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Melodica, Songwriter

Nick Green: Drums
â¦. plays an electronic drum kit, brings a unique and truly progressive sound to Everyday Prophetsâ foundation. He pumps up the songs with Dancehall and roots reggae, hip hop, ska, reggaeton, and even disco breakbeats to keep the feet moving.

Rick Wasserloos: Bass Guitar
â¦. brings strong hip-hop, drum and bass, and jazz influences to the mix, and offers an ever evolving sense of improvisation, and a grounding effect to their often upbeat songs.
