Colorado reggae-ish recording artist Weege, makes vibey, uplifting anthems reminiscent of Michael Franti, Jason Mraz, Iration and Pepper. Weege is the nickname of the singer/songwriter, Luigi Casaretto,  known for his songwriting in the Northern Californian pioneering, reggae-rock group, 880 South. Weege performs with Weege the People, an 8 piece reggae soul ensemble which includes a full spectrum of live sound utilizing drums, bass, keys, guitar, horns and backing vocals.

In 2021 they reached new audiences with their first single release titled “She’s Trying” and followed it with 7 more singles in 2022. They released a full length album titled “All Fixed Up” in 2023. “The People” is made up of 8 Coloradans from all over the state ranging from Pueblo, Parker, Denver and Fort Collins. Weege the People has now performed with artists like Through the Roots, Kyle Smith, Kash’d Out, The Expendables, Arise Roots, Fortunate Youth, Common Kings, Indubious and Nattali Rize. One of the highlights of 2022 was Performing at the 2022 Reggae in the Rockies Festival in Alpine, WY. Weege is personally no stranger to Reggae Festivals as his first performance with 880 South at the California Roots Festival was the inaugural year the festival was created.

Weege the People is currently finishing their follow up album titled “Weege the People'' and is slated for a summer 2023 self release through Symphonic Distribution.

The music itself is infused by way of syncopated undertones with bubble keys, jazzy-blues guitar structure, Motown driven vocals matched with chunky, warm bass lines and crisp, rootsy drums.  Lyrically, Weege has morphed into an upbeat sophist with his heart on a sleeve. Having the experience of fatherhood has given him a second chance at being a maestro level storyteller. Weege adds his own unique splash of unique soul, rock and motown influences to his own branded reggae style. Naturally, it derives from his musical upbringing on bands like Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Queen, The Police, Funkadelic and UB40.
