(Karuna means Compassion) "The Karuna Movement lays down a mix of funky reggae and soulful world grooves while coloring them with catchy melodies and deep lyrical content. Jon Bone delivers a captivating stage presence with a genuine and soulful voice that, reminiscent of inspiring artists like Bob Marley and John Lennon, sings of love, equality, social justice and the cultivation of a peaceful and compassionate state of being." - Aaron Bethune of PlayItLoudMusic Heavy grooves inspire audiences to let go and dance. Harmonized melodies captivate listeners and many leave the shows humming a tune. Gripping lyrical content inspires laughter, deep reflection and a groovin' good time! This Movement of worldly artists came to together on Vancouver Island in the spring of 2007 when they began to share their message of hope and inspiration through the soothing vibrations of their unique and powerful music. A couple years later they had toured throughout Western Canada and played at several major festivals including Diversity Festival, Calgary Reggae Festival and a headlining slot performing to an enchanted crowd of fans at Islands Folk Festival. As the project has progressed, Jon Bone and The Karuna Movement have had the great fortunate to share the stage with great artists such as Clinton Fearon, Rootz Underground, John Brown's Body, Delhi to Dublin, Culture Brown, Shane Phillip, IBO and Kindread, Culture Brown, Moses Maze, Randeesh and Goodbye Beatdown, just to name a few.
