Deep Nourished Roots (DNR) is the local band that built the foundation for Reggae Week. We saw the need for connection and conscious music, and alongside our partners at Tahlsound, we grew the original Lexington Reggae Fest into a multi-day, family-friendly celebration of unity and rhythm.

We aren't just performers; we are the organizers, dedicated to bringing the powerful vibrations of roots reggae to Central Kentucky.
