ALLieNs (pronounced Alley-ins)
Many of us recall Alliens’ memorable performances at FloydFest between 2007-2011 & especially the late-night after party to close out the festival each year. They also brought their infectious Caribbean-Fun & World Groove sound to regional festivals in the NRV & Roanoke Areas in additional to annual tours down to Key West & back during those years. Now, for the first time in 10 years, they are finally coming back together to share their talent & music with us again!
Alliens is a powerful caribbean-funk, world groove sensation led by brothers Jamiel and Janiah Allen along with cousin Zeph Allen, merges diverse world rhythms into a magnetic musical tapestry. With Cameron McLaughlin on bass and Nyo Allen on percussion, the band effortlessly blends rock, reggae, funk, ska, Caribbean soca, electronica, cumbia, and more, creating an infectious sound that defies borders. Their music carries a powerful message: forget your differences and dance!
Through multilingual lyrics and harmonies, Alliens invites listeners to connect deeply. On stage, they craft an electrifying atmosphere, celebrating shared humanity and promoting love, understanding, and acceptance. Alliens’ music isn’t just a performance; it’s a transformative experience, urging audiences to surrender to the universal groove that unites us all.
