“Green Buddha is a potent musical hybrid… A green salad of the freshest ingredients from Colorado, Southern Cal, and New Orleans… a heady mix that rivals any of the top bands in the burgeoning new reggae movement… one of our favorite sounding albums of the last year” - Jon Phillips - Silverback Music
“With over a decade under their belt, Green Buddha has become the go-to “NoCoast” reggae band on the Front Range”…"Green Buddha has come a long way and now share the lane with acts like Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, and Stick Figure. With broad appeal and a drummer who absolutely slaps the skins, they’re a must-see for fans of modern reggae fusion." - Nicholas Stock, RELIX https://relix.com/reviews/detail/stephen-marley-with-green-buddha-at-washingtons/
