According to his label, MCA Records, Rahzel is described as "the undisputed Godfather of Noyze" who has re-defined the beat box. A self-defined vocal percussionist, Rahzel has "mastered this quintessential hip hop art form and has emerged as a true virtuoso. To hear him is to be converted."  Rahzel is best known as a member of The Roots, hip-hop's cutting-edge live band.

Following Rahzel, the Ohio-originated reggae and roots-rock jam band, O.A.R, will perform.

The New York Post calls the group's album, In Between Now and Then, "a jammin' album that flirts with melodic, reggae-laced rock that oils your dancing bone."
