CURRENT NEWS:
We are working on a new
virtual reality video for our
climate crisis single, Cry to
the Sky...soon come.
Matt Jenson and the Liquid Revolution band is built on a foundation of rock-solid-reggae-GROOVE, and now mixing in Afro-Cuban rhythms, with tight vocal harmonies and inspired blues-rock soloing. Joining Reggae’s long mission of revolutionary consciousness-raising, the Liquid Revolution expresses the cry of alternative global thinking in this era of climate change and extreme economic injustice. Not only do Matt’s poetically insightful songs strike at the heart of these issues, but his tunes about joyful expressions of love, spirituality and the lessons to be learned from simple stories of every day life all offer a vision for a bright future.
We released a CD entitled "Dragonfly Taxi," of super politically engaged reggae back in 2013. You can listen to it all HERE (Youtube play list). You can buy it HERE. You can watch more videos and see photo's HERE. Read the album lyrics HERE. Check out the Dragonfly Taxi Culture Jam HERE. Download the album leadsheets HERE. Check out educational offerings HERE.

AGAIN and AGAIN - because the only way through is with LOVE.
Matt interviewed on African Ascent 10/17
The Nation and the World are in dire need of creative, maladjusted extremists to stand intelligently, firmly and completely outside of the status quo, in the transformative power of love, to tell the truth.
