History
Natural Vibrations was formed by Penidean Pua’auli (vocals), Shane Abraham (keyboard, vocals), Kayton Macariola (percussion, vocals), Stacy Medeiros (drums), Jehua Evans (bass, vocals), and Wayne Enos (guitar, vocals) in 1993. The band's first album, Balls Rolling, was released in 1996. Their second album, All Natural, won the Na Hoku Hanohano Award for best reggae album of the year in 1999. Third album Getting High (2000) won them a second best reggae album award at the Hawaiian Music Awards. They were once again given the Na Hoku Hanohano Award for the album The Circle in 2004, the album also peaking at no. 12 on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart. After five years in which the band concentrated on performing internationally and spending time with their families, fifth album, From the Heart, was released in 2007, which in 2008 won a third best reggae album award at the Hawaiian Music Awards. The album gave them their highest Billboard chart placing, peaking at number 5 on the Top Reggae Albums chart. Got This Music was released in 2011.
Smoking marijuana is a common lyrical theme in the band's songs.
A compilation of their best material (Ultimate Vibes) was released in 2009.
The band experienced a number of line up changes starting in 2013 and as of July 2015 the only original members remaining are Wayne Enos and Shane Abraham.
