Participation is the reggae record Okay Lindon’s Dustin Smith has always wanted to write; the realization of a long running dream. Smith is accompanied by the sweet voice and violin of Erica Beimesche, the subtle but complicated drumming of Jordan Elam, and the percussive keyboards of Andrew McEwen, Participation is beautiful, political, melodic, honest, and in control.

Today, the Cincinnati/Middletown, Ohio band shares “More Features, More Repairs,” from the record, which hits the streets July 12 via Poptek Records.
