Squarefield Massive
Roots/Rock/Reggae
Squarefield Massive is all things “reggae” so they’re the perfect fit with the authentic roots rock reggae CIP’s been playing for the past 25 years. Inspired by reggae artists like Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk, and Gregory Isaacs, Squarefield Massive brings the big sound from the tiny island to Concerts in the Park!
What’s the origin of your band’s name?
Our name is a play on Fairfield,CA with reference to the “F” in a square box (our logo). The Massive part comes from the huge entourage that we often traveled with which is also a Jamaican term referring to “the people” as a whole.
What food can you not live without on tour?
Mexican food! We have found that outside of California, a good burrito is hard to come by. So when we’re back in town, the first thing I’m looking for is an authentic Mexican meal.
What is your favorite part of downtown Sacramento?
Having lived downtown for 25 years, I have seen lots of change but, I still love all the classic spots like Old Sacramento, Southside Park, and the rivers. I love and embrace our current growth and I can’t wait to see what the new arena brings to our community (GO KINGS!)
If you could collaborate with anyone (CIP performer or not) who would it be?
New Kingston!
