It's nice to have things you can always count on, like whiskey, cats being funny and, if you're a reggae fan, the Hawaiian Islands (needle across the record player). While old timers keep rummaging through the record bins of Hawaiian music past, a whole new renaissance is happening. Freed from the chains of preservation, Hawaiian musicians have the liberty to embrace innovation, including reggae. Unified Culture - five Island boys, rooted from the Hawaiian Islands - perform a unique combination of roots reggae and dancehall, with an emphasis on wicked intros, mixes, heavy bass lines and catchy saxophone licks. Catch them as part of Jazzbones' One Love Wednesday music series.

UNIFIED CULTURE, 9 p.m., Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, no cover, 253.396.9169
