Pepper in Aventura

Pepper is a Hawaiian reggae-rock trio formed in Kailua-Kona in 1996, now based in Southern California. Members Kaleo Wassman, Bret Bollinger, and Yesod Williams blend reggae, dub, ska, punk, and island rhythms they call Kona Dub-Rock. Albums including "Kona Town" (2002), "Local Motion" (2019), and "Makai" (2023) anchor a catalog built over nearly three decades. Live, they tour as road warriors with reggae and rock peers, packing festivals and amphitheaters with high-energy sets.
