May 30, 2009 – St. John, Virgin Islands is home to Inner Visions, a unique reggae band. No longer billed as the V.I.'s best kept secret, they have taken on the world with their music and energetic live performances. In 1995 they recorded their first album and the rest has been history.
The group consists of bassist "Jupiter" Pickering, brother Grasshopper (guitars) and Ras Paul (percussion). The band has matured into the international stars they are today. Their live performances reverberate with crucial messages: One Love, One Aim, One Destiny. The addition of Grasshoppers' two sons, Akiba ("Mr. Snooze" on keyboards) and Aswad ("Hollywood" on drums), has brought a 'sound of youth to the mix and a mature depth to their sound.
Today Inner Visions is a mystical mix of the young and the mature performing together to form a sound that is sweet, danceable, well arranged and thought provoking. Their tour dates, both confirmed and pending, are listed here.
