What does reggae music have to do with ice cream?
Owner/Master Creamer David grew up with a love of roots reggae’s word, sound, and power vibes. When living in Northern California he worked with Young Tree Records whose mission was to preserve the history and integrity of reggae music. He even did some tour management with Groundation, a band off the label. Reggae music is a part of The Charmery; it dominates the playlist at our shops and there are many shared values including consciousness, working to uplift those most in need, and thoughtfulness on what you are eating.
As a career in music gets harder and harder to survive off of, dubplates are a way to directly support an artist. These are special one-off versions of an artist's song usually meant for competing in a sound clash with vocals specially recorded to namecheck the sound system—often remarking on the prowess of the sound system playing it—in a bid to win the clash. The follow songs are in the same spirit, just repping The Charmery!
Our Podcast
During the time of quarantine due to Covid-19 we released a podcast since we were missing your faces. This is our attempt to capture the vibe of our shops in audio form. We check in with our special friends to see how they were holding up as well.
