Double Tiger’s live show is a burning concoction of modern soul roots reggae plus a dash of early dancehall style and a touch of UK style dub sensability. The vocal delivery is sometimes in a singjay fashion while other times a rapid fire militant delivery. Love songs, social commentary and anthems roll together to connect with the audience while the guitars, bass, keys , drums & 3 piece horn section get the crowd chanting for more.
