As New Zealand’s representative of street music culture, Reuben plays his well-oiled live-looping show to ravenous crowds. Hand-delivering his record ‘Mountain Climber’ to the masses, one hundred and twenty shows in three months over summer in Europe and the UK is the norm for Reuben Stone.
As an artist that finds his roots in dub, inspirational encounters with musicians from all over the world unlocks new pathways and ideas every year.
Reuben’s set has taken on a fresh, more progressive vibe with much more electronic, gypsy jazz and blues influence.
Vocals, trombone, guitar, synth and drum samples still make up the physical structure of the music of Reuben’s well renowned, high-energy, live show.
Homebass is a tour of New Zealand over Labour Weekend that gives Reuben a platform to express the stories gained over this time, as well as new arrangements, songs and wisdom that can only be gained from street shows.
