What can you say about a bunch of white guys playing Reggae? Hopefully more than just that. First, they better be damn good. Second, with apprehension you might ask: “Do they sing in a faux Jamaican Patois?” Luckily, Woo and the Yellow Dubmarine are damn good, and no, they do not sport phony Jamaican accents. However, they do play Holy music: that is, select cuts from the legendary Beatles song catalogue. With both Beatles songs and original compositions by Luke Schuster, Aaron Glaser, and Robbie Cooper, Woo and the Yellow Dubmarine blend a pop reggae sentiment reminiscent of Sublime’s classic self titled album with undercurrents of soul and jazz. Armed with two incredible brass players, Mario D’ Ambrosia on tenor sax, and Brian Shapiro on trumpet, a song like Strawberry Fields, remained as Strawberry Dub, transforms from a roots rock reading of a classic song into an all out free jazz romp ala Bitches Brew. Another guiding light in the groups’ jam appeal is guitarist Jonothan Sloan. Sloan’s precise leads give a nod to both Peter Tosh and George Harrison while simultaneously hitting up each note with healthy dose of the American blues slow hand. Robbie Cooper and Jason Budman have managed to supply a percussive atmosphere that is not overbearing and flashy: a common problem in many, let’s say non-Jamaican, reggae groups. Equally as important to the band’s reggae vibe, and its rhythmical sense, is the subtle playing of Greg Wheltle on the keys. It’s safe to say that each member of Woo and the Yellow Dubmarine is a vital force. As a result the band takes a novelty idea and challenges themselves musically to move beyond its initial appeal. This is rare in any band but also much more than one can usually say of a bunch of white guys playing reggae. All you need is dub.
