TUGG may hail from the unlikely hotbed of ska and reggae in Wisconsin, but they’ve built a reputation as local legends across the Upper Midwest with their tropical grooves and breezy melodies. Having shared the stage with names like Ziggy Marley, Bad Religion, Sublime with Rome, The English Beat, The Wailers, The Dirty Heads, and many more, TUGG has earned national recognition. Their last five releases hit the Top 50 on iTunes Reggae, with Home Brew peaking at #2 behind Bob Marley's Legend. In May 2025, they’re set to release their most anticipated album yet. A collection they believe is their best work to date.
