Aurora’s Reef

Canada’s Capital Reggae Band. Aurora’s Reef is a six-piece reggae collective from the soul of Canada’s Capital. Their fresh fusion of roots reggae, ska, and rocksteady is signature to their performances. Since their inception, they’ve built a strong performance presence across Ontario and Quebec, from their inaugural Reefer Tour ’24 which spanned Montreal to Windsor, to standout appearances at the Ontario Moonshine Festival, North Buxton Homecoming Celebration and weekly summer residency at Westboro Beach Club. Frontman Duncan Travis, hailing from North Buxton, honours his heritage as a descendant of the Underground Railroad through deeply rooted original songs like Sarsaparilla, Road Burn, and Event Horizon. Building on that momentum, the band was awarded a City of Ottawa Arts and Culture grant to record their debut album, set for release in 2026.
