Matisyahu is currently on the road with his new live band for the annual Festival of Light Hanukkah tour. Shortly before hitting the road for his festive run, Matis stopped by Relix’s New York offices to play two songs for our “Live at Relix” video series. The reggae singer brought along his longtime guitarist Aaron Dugan for takes on new singles “Carry Me” and “Shade from the Sun.” Two of Matis’ young sons also supplied backup vocals on “Carry Me.” The entire performance, which they dubbed part of their “Hanukkah Jam,” is available here.

The Festival of Light run rolls into Woodstock, NY’s Bearsville Theater this evening. Matisyahu is also profiled in the January_February issue of Relix. In an interview with Matt Inman, the singer talks about his new jam-oriented approach, forthcoming album and reuniting with Dugan and members of The Dub Trio after some time apart.
