Animo Cruz is a surf/roots reggae band from Santa Cruz,
California that started out as a live roots jam band lead by singer and songwriter,
Mo El-Sherif. With Mo as lead singer/songwriter, the core of the band is
comprised of five talented members: Bert Javier (guitar/vocals), Zack
"Nutty" Donoghue (Bass), Ben Lindsey (Lead Guitar), Kevin Eichorn
(keyboards) and Jordan Speyer (drums).
Animo Cruz has quickly grown to become one of Santa Cruz's
premiere Cali Reggae groups and was invited to perform at the 6th annual
California Roots Music and Arts Festival in Monterey, CA held May 22-24, 2015.
The festival included bands such as Tribal Seeds, Iration, Fortunate Youth,
Cypress Hill and Slightly Stoopid.
Animo Cruz is set to release their much-anticipated second
EP titled Why Not on June 9th, 2015. The EP includes six original songs and is
once again produced by E.N Young of Roots Musician Records featuring guest
performances by E.N Young and Imperial Sound Recording artists. The Why Not EP
is a live recording with track overlays. The EP is meant to capture the spirit
of the Santa Cruz lifestyle the band was developed and founded in.
Animo Cruz's first EP, Morning Light, was released in June
of 2014 and was also produced by E.N Young. It featured guest performances by
E.N Young of Tribal Seeds, Eddie Blunt of High Tide and Deejay Skanks of SRP.
Why Not will be available starting June 9th on over 35
online digital outlets including iTunes, amazon.com, Spotify, Shazam, Google
Play, Rhapsody, Facebook, YouTube, Pandora and more. Learn more about Animo
