More than a band
Guiding Star Orchestra is an eleven-man roots reggae ensemble and collective from the Copenhagen area in Denmark.
Since the band took shape in 2016, the musical collective's tunes have been played all over the world by fans, sound systems and DJ’s alike. The overarching, wordless theme of the hard-hitting, horn driven, organic music is a longing for a better, more fair world and the music is designed to aid this development.
In their music the hard and meditative beats of the bass and drum section are blended with the melodic phrases of the horns, which are in turn supported by the pulsating expressions of the guitar and keys, which are finally taken to cosmic heights with the effects of the live engineering.

Guiding Star Orchestra is an eleven-man roots reggae ensemble and collective from the Copenhagen area in Denmark.
Over a period of 8 days back in 2016, Guiding Star Orchestra produced their first album, completely without use of digital technology. Recording without the possibility of post-editing and cutting allows the band to focus on what they consider to be most important in their music - the vibe. This has been philosophy of all recording sessions thus far and in the future.
The album “Natural Heights” finally saw the light of day in November of 2022 but the double LP contains 12 instrumental, heavily jazz influenced roots reggae riddims with full horn section backed with dub versions.
On the 5th of May 2023, the band released their second full length LP “Communion” and celebrated with a release tour around Denmark, performing at various locations during the summer of 2023.
