The hugely popular reggae band Stick Figure packed the Coffee Butler Amphitheater on Aug. 12, with tickets selling out months before the show.
The Southern California band formed in 2006 and has sold well over 1 million albums. Its music has been streamed more than 3 billion times.
On the live side, Stick Figure averaged over 4,200 tickets sold per show on an almost entirely sold-out 2022 tour, according to Pollstar, and has played major multigenre festivals in 2023 and 2024.
“These numbers would be impressive by any metric, yet Stick Figure has achieved this rarified air completely independently, with no label or outside producers,” states the band’s website.
The live band lineup features Kevin Bong (KBong) on keyboards, Kevin Offitzer on drums, bassist Tommy Suliman, John Gray (Johnny Cosmic) on guitar, keyboards and backing vocals, and Will Phillips on percussion, with founder Scott Woodruff up front on guitar and vocals. Bong, Offitzer and Suliman have been with the band for 10 years and the camaraderie on stage is infectious.
