Irie All the Time: An interview with The Irietions
Lawrence reggae band The Irietions is already deeply ingrained in the local music community after only a year-and-a-half on the scene. Members Brian Tiemeyer and Evan McGuire visited us to share some Irie new tunes and their thoughts on legalization, local reggae, and gettin' the hell outta Dodge (City).

They're already deeply ingrained in the local music community after only a year-and-a-half on the scene. Members Brian Tiemeyer and Evan McGuire visited us to share some Irie new tunes and their thoughts on legalization, local reggae, and gettin' the hell outta Dodge (City).
