Born on the streets of Portland, Maine, Gorilla Finger Dub is a dynamic dub and reggae ensemble known for deep rhythmic grooves and immersive live performances. Blending classic dub influences with soul-rock improvisation, the group creates music rooted in tradition yet forward-moving in approach.

What started as Eric Dudevoir’s spark after hearing Chris Boivin busking grew into a weekly jam session, eventually evolving into a full powerhouse with Samuel Belanger, Steve Martin, and Robbie Cooper. Their sound is built on resonant bass lines, atmospheric keyboards, and steady drum patterns shaped to support the blended vocal harmonies of Boivin and Belanger.

For 15 years, they’ve honored their roots with an annual Bob Marley tribute show — often joined by Glen DaCosta of the original Wailers — and shared stages with legends like Steel Pulse, Ziggy Marley, Inner Circle, and Third World. With an expanding catalog including Cool It Down and the Sun Tiki Sessions, GFD continues to refine a sound that resonates across generations.

Gorilla Finger Dub isn’t just a band—it’s a vibe. From festivals to clubs, they turn every stage into a vibration zone. If you’re ready for deep grooves and a live show that feels like a reggae-fueled party, you know where to find them.
