6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 5, Grand Plaza Main Stage One of the biggest reggae bands in Southern California, The Expanders are not to be missed. They play in the tradition of classic Jamaican reggae and will make you think you’re on a warm Caribbean beach. If it’s been awhile since you’ve heard some steel drums, make sure you get a spot in the front row for these guys. Preview the sound with these three song selections.

Expo West is such a jam-packed show, you might spend so much time in the conference center you forget you’re in sunny Southern California. Remind yourself to get outside every day. Show organizers will help by bringing the entertainment, and even some morning yoga on Friday, outdoors—so make sure you keep the Grand Plaza, where it’ll all happen, programmed into your mental map. Take your afternoon conversations outside while you mingle with cocktails and rock out with these fantastic music guests

6-8 p.m. Friday, March 6, Grand Plaza Main Stage Nahko, an Oregon native with Apache, Puerto Rican and Filipino blood, leads this soul-filled band on its musical journey around the world. Though the band doesn’t have much of a reggae sound, it has been compared to Bob Marley and definitely fills the stage—and audience—with that level of energy. Come jam with Nahko on the Grand Plaza as you unwind from your busy Friday. If you have energy to burn, Nahko will have you dancing in no time; and if you’re tired, it’s the kind of music you can also sit back and relax to as you chat with newfound friends and longtime colleagues. Get to know Nahko with this sample of the band's songs.
