SOUTHERN California reggae/dub band Stick Figure, is number one on the Billboard Reggae Album Chart this week. The group’s sixth studio album, Set in Stone, removed British singer Joss Stone’s Water for Your Soul from pole position.

The 14-track Set in Stone features collaborations with singer Eric Rachmany, Slightly Stoopid, B Kong, and Collie Buddz.

This is Stick Figure’s second charttopping album. They scored their first number one in 2012 with Burial Ground. Stick Figure comprises Scott Woodruff (vocals, guitar), Kevin Bong (keyboards), Kevin Offitzer (drums), and Tommy Suliman (bass).

Burial Ground sold over 60,000 copies and also topped the iTunes reggae chart. Following its 2012 release, the group began touring with a new line-up and has since toured the United States with reggae groups such as Rebelution, The Green, Passafire, Tribal Seeds, and The Expendables.

Stick Figure was originally a one-man band started by Woodruff, a multiinstrumentalist, songwriter, and producer from Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Stick Figure is a take on Woodruff’s high school nickname. He officially adopted the moniker while he was a freshman in college.
