NEW MUSIC!!!

Michael Botte’s latest Reggae/Pop Rock tune “Dance with your Shadow” is all about loving and living life to the fullest!

Musically, the verses were inspired by The Police who used a “Reggae Rock” vibe in some of their songs that were influenced by the one and only Bob Marley.

The chorus has that big Nickelback drive that made their songs famous.
