Lola Rising

Lola Rising is an Island Reggae Rock band, also known as “Jahawaiian," a ukulele driven 5-piece with high energy dance rhythms, horns, and soaring guitars. Reminiscent of Dirty Heads, Iration and The Green, Lola Rising has been winning hearts and minds since their inception in 2014. Their debut LP "Westward Bound" (2016) with single “Colorado” saw heavy rotation across their home state and a multitude of college radio stations across the country. Inspired from a song, frontman Paul Medina Guevara once wrote about the passing of his "Lola" (meaning Grandmother in Filipino). Coupled with “Rising" the name evokes images of spirituality while embracing the human condition.

Their EP "Moving Forward" has helped Lola Rising cross new thresholds of creativity by introducing new genres and textures, while still finding roots in their original sound. Inspired from basements of haunted hotels in Wyoming to the beaches of California, this record discusses love, loss, struggle and protecting our Mother Earth by using their vivid lyrics and multi-part vocal harmonies.

Lola Rising has now shared the stage with Matisyahu 3 times, The Wailers 2 times, The Movement, Mike Love, Rusted Root, Collie Buddz, Walk the Moon, Glass Animals, Twenty One Pilots, Saint Motel, The Hip Abduction, The Green, Trevor Hall, Bumpin Uglies, Passafire, Futurebirds, Wailing Souls, Little Stranger, Satsang and many more amazing bands across the country.
