Arden Park Roots · Tune In
Arden Park Roots is a Sacramento reggae-rock band that began in 2007 as a Sublime tribute act called The Livin's Easy before building one of Northern California's most durable live followings. Named for the city's Arden Park neighborhood and led by founder Tyler Campbell, their sound started closer to rock and ska-punk — the 2008 debut "The Hard Way" is catalogued as a rock record — and settled over time into the melodic, horn-tinged "California reggae" they're now known for, drawing on Sublime, 311, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Across four albums — "The Hard Way" (2008), "No Regrets in the Garden of Weeden" (2010), "Pipe Dreams" (2011, a #2 iTunes reggae entry), and "Burning the Midnight Oil" (2014, featuring Spice 1) — and relentless DIY touring, they became a fixture of Sacramento's festival summers. They won multiple SAMMIEs and were inducted into the Sacramento Music Hall of Fame in 2012 alongside Papa Roach, Deftones, Cake, and Tesla, and they remain repeat headliners of Sacramento's free Concerts in the Park series — closing the 2026 season on June 26.
