About this Music

Since then 1814 has been busy building a strong fan base in New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Rim. The music on 1814's Jah Rydem can be described as having an upbeat, funky, R&B, roots reggae feel. "If you love skankin, you'll love the live shows, full of energy, up beat grooves, wicked sax and sweet soulful vocals," adds Patu.Whakahonohono Mai was the most played song on Maori Radio in 2010 and the band is enjoying a consistent following as a result of their radio success. "There has been interest from around the world since the band's debut and 2011 is shaping up to be another busy year for 1814," says Patu.

The name 1814 was taken from the year the Gospel arrived at Oihi, in the Bay Of Islands. Missionary Samuel Marsden, held the first sermon there on Christmas Day, 1814. This is the inspiration behind delivering a message of peace, love and unity to all people throughout the world.

1814 has had the privilege of playing with some of New Zealand's top acts including Katchafire, House of Shem and 3 Houses Down, who individually achieved popularity in Hawaii's island music and reggae community.
