Mr. OK & The Last Light Memorial Day Zion Tour

May 26th – 29th, 2023

Mr. OK & The Last Light bring their unique blend of Reggae, Rock, and Hip Hop to the Zion area over Memorial Day Weekend to perform their debut EP, along with other originals and select groove covers.

“Music Is The Medicine EP”

Southern Utah-based looping artist known by the alias Mr. OK displays the perfect example of what it means to collaborate with other artists to produce something magical. It all started when Charlie OlGrady-Kessner decided it was time to stop keeping his music to himself. With a goal of expanding upon a few original reggae tracks that he wrote for looping performance, he made an effort to find and collaborate with a group of musicians to see how these songs could evolve to fit in a live band.

By the end of 2021, 6 other artists eventually joined to create a small project called Mr. OK & The Last Light, which has carved a space in the local scene for people who like to dance. In 2022, they performed extensively in Southern Utah and are excited to expand their horizons in 2023. They’ve already made it up to Salt Lake City in January and down to Dunedin, Florida, in February, where they played a run of shows and headlined the Blur Stage at the Dundedin Merchant’s Association Mardi Gras Festival.

‘Music is the Medicine’ perfectly executes the powerful combination of classic and modern reggae, giving listeners a soulful and embodied experience. This dynamic EP is an example of when stunning vocals combine with thoughtful lyrics, uplifting instrumental breakouts, and a deep well of energy – in sum; it is a collection of songs that are bound to inevitably spread joy and feeling as they encourage the listener to move their body.
