The Green Hands – Reggae Band
Feel the rhythm with The Green Hands, an electrifying reggae band known for their infectious grooves and high-energy performances. Blending classic reggae beats with modern flair, their music brings warmth, movement, and unity to every stage. Whether you’re swaying to the rhythm or dancing in the crowd, The Green Hands deliver a feel-good experience you won’t forget.

The heart and soul of The Green Hand Band beat with the indomitable spirit of Tim Gray, a Gumbaynggirr, Kumbainggar and Wiradjiri Man. Hailing from Macksville on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Tim’s early life was a rugged path filled with hardships, including homelessness and battles with addiction. However, through unwavering determination and relentless hard work, Tim transformed his destiny into that of a prosperous businessman and an enduring inspiration.

Tim’s musical odyssey began at TAFE, where he honed his craft and his dream. The Green Hand Band, a dynamic 7-piece reggae ensemble, emerged as a beacon of cultural connection and positivity. With a mission to shatter barriers, embrace ancestral heritage, and enrich Aboriginal culture, the band is now celebrated for their original compositions and electrifying reggae-inspired covers.
