COLOSO w/Reese Glover

The Origin of COLOSO

Kevin Coloso & the Collection of Lone Souljahs

Kevin Coloso began his musical journey on his home island of Maui, strumming the ukulele and vibing to the island reggae that shaped his sound. After moving to the mainland for college, he teamed up with close friends in Vancouver, WA to form the COllection of LOne SOuljahs—better known today as COLOSO.

Though the lineup has evolved over the years, the energy has never wavered. Coloso’s passion fuels every performance, whether solo or with a full ensemble, and has cemented his role in shaping the contemporary reggae scene of the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, he’s shared the stage with heavyweights like Eli-Mac, Collie Budz, Sammy J, Anuhea, Rebel Souljahz, Ekolu, Fiji, Jordan T, Sly & Robbie, The Original Wailers, Fortunate Youth, Nesian Nine, Mike Love (& Paula Fuga), Clinton Fearon, Satsang, Long Beach Dub All Stars, and many more.

Based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Reese Glover is a singer-songwriter who discovered his musical calling while traveling through the Mountain West with a hand-me-down guitar. After returning to Minnesota to refine his craft, he developed a signature sound that blends traditional country, rock, and blues, anchored by narrative-driven lyrics and a raw, rootsy live performance featuring fiddle and steel guitar. Having established a strong local presence by supporting national acts and playing major festival stages, Glover has earned comparisons to artists like Zach Bryan and the Turnpike Troubadours for his authentic, high-energy musical style.
