Founded in the foothills of El Dorado, CA... Their music is a fun, raw blend of Rock, Funky Reggae, and Soulful Blues. It is a mixture like no other. The quintet, exerts high energy performances while frequenting local and out of town venues, music festivals and various events. The unique sound of Island of Black and White captures the attention of those young and old: with Chris Haislet on guitar, keyboard, accordion, melodica, flute and vocals, Nawal Alwareeth on drums and vocals, Tim Picchi on lead guitar, Scott Mitchell on bass and Patrick Picchi on percussion. It is apparent for anyone watching, that the band shares an immense love for music. Not only does the band enjoy performing, but their incredible performances engage all audiences; and the energy is shared with the entire crowd. 2016, 2017, 2018 Winner of the Sacramento Music Award, Best Reggae Jam Band Less
