Keith Batlin Presents A Birthday Tribute to Bob Marley

Keith Batlin's vocals and harmonies cover a truly amazing range of styles and complexities, easily switching textures from honey/silk to smoke. In his voice you can hear traces of Al Green, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, and Robert Plant.

Keith Batlin was born in Carmel CA and raised in Seaside CA and Hawaii. Keith came from a musical family, and began playing trumpet and tuba from an early age. Keith received a scholarship from The Monterey Bay Blues festival recognizing young blues talent, so in early 2000 he enrolled in the Musicians Institute in Hollywood CA. At the same time, he and Adam Crowe founded the band FreeSound.

International Reggae Band Inna Vision continues to represent Hawaiian Reggae on a global stage with melodic rhythm, lyrical consciousness, versatile cadence and infectious energy.  Uprooted from the tiny island Maui, Inna Vision has toured the U.S. consistently since 2008 performing in over 70 cities and also bridging the gap between Europe, Jamaica, and Tahiti.  2018-2019 proved massive with the release of 3 Full-length albums including the greatest hits compilation “Best Yet” celebrating 10 years of Inna Vision music.  The hard-hitting album “Link Up” climbed the charts quickly and got nominated as a “Reggae album of the year” finalist by Hawaii’s Na Hoku Hanohano awards. Following release and U.S. headline tour, Inna Vision made their Europe debut performing with Tribal Seeds in London, Amsterdam, and France and stops at legendary festivals such as Summerjam (Germany) and Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland). Inna Vision was formed in 2005 as a 6 piece band with its debut album "Music on my Mind" released in 2008. Shortly after release original singers left the group to pursue solo careers.  Inna Vision quickly re-branded led by founder and bassist “Koa Lopes.”  Since re-branding, Inna Vision took full speed forward releasing 5 albums, and numerous singles appearing on songs with Million Stylez, Josh Heinrichs, Hirie, Gonzo, The Steppas, New Kingston, Redmelo, and many more. Inna Vision has grown to have band members from California, Florida, New York, Boston, and original musicians that still perform at home in Hawaii. Inna Visions' passion and persistence led to performances at California Roots Festival, Reggae on the River, One Love Fest, Reggae Rise Up, and Hawaii’s Majah Rayjah.  “The Vision” has also shared stages with J Boog, Common Kings, Ky-Mani Marley, Collie Buddz, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Steel Pulse, Alborosie, Gentleman, SOJA, and much more. Inna Vision music represents, equality, manifestation, inspiration, and most importantly love overall.
