Doors at 7pm || $20 Presale - $25 Day of Show

Irie Love is a six-foot-tall, mixed-race American recording artist celebrated globally as a reggae sensation. Born and raised in Kailua, Hawaii, she embarked on a musical journey that took her from California to Jamaica and eventually to London, where she met her first husband during a tour with a renowned reggae band-an experience she vividly recounts in her upcoming book.

Identifying as a "Reggae Soul" artist, Irie Love's unique musical style is shaped by her multicultural upbringing and diverse global experiences. While her primary focus has been a successful recording career spanning two decades, her athletic pursuits have also played a significant role. A versatile athlete, she has excelled in canoe paddling, track & field, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and even powderpuff football during her college years.

After a traumatic divorce in 2017, Irie Love shifted gears, temporarily stepping away from music to explore her other passions. Embracing a fitness career, she became a certified spin instructor, yoga teacher, wellness curator, mentor, and personal trainer.

In 2021, a serendipitous reunion with a longtime business acquaintance reignited her passion for music. With newfound inspiration and collaboration, Irie Love returned to the studio, overcoming challenges and ultimately finding artistic fulfillment in Paris working with legendary reggae producer Matthieu from Bost&Bim. The result-an entire album, a departure from the singles and reggae riddims of the past.

Beyond her artistic endeavors, Irie Love is dedicated to charitable work, focusing on empowering women of color, youth, and serving as a Kahu (protector/caretaker) for cats. Her volunteer efforts include associations with Boys & Girls Club, Mana Mele, Habitat for Humanity, and various animal welfare organizations. Now, with a rekindled passion, Irie Love is set to captivate the world with a new album in late summer 2024, fitness classes on Oahu, wellness events worldwide, and an anticipated self-help book in early 2025-a testament to her commitment to music, charity, animals, and holistic wellness.
