ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGGAE
Niceness is an eight-piece roots reggae band based in the San Juan mountains of Telluride, Colorado, fronted by the powerful and passionate female vocalist Koral Delatierra. Since their formation in 2014, Niceness has become a beacon of conscious music, spreading uplifting and healing vibrations throughout their community and beyond.
Their debut album, Sunshine (2016), set the stage with its radiant blend of reggae infused with soul, funk, Latin, and hip-hop, while their follow-up, Realize (2021), deepened their commitment to unifying messages and conscious grooves. Niceness creates music that is both grounding and transformative. Each song serves as an invitation to celebrate, heal, and come together as one, embracing the spirit of oneness and love. Whether through their heartfelt lyrics or the rich, vibrant instrumentation, Niceness believes in the power of music as a force for positive change.
Their collective mission is simple yet profound: to strengthen the bonds that unite us as one global family while caring for the earth that sustains us all. In a world that needs connection and kindness more than ever, Niceness aims to create spaces where people can show up as they are, finding joy and solidarity in shared moments. Their music resonates with the hope that future generations may inherit a world rooted in love, harmony, and sustainability.
One love, one family, one shared heartbeat.

LOVE of niceness
“I’ve seen many reggae bands throughout the years, and these guys are in my Top 3 favorite bands I’ve seen in my entire life, along with Jimmy Cliff and Ziggy Marley.”
“Skin-tight classic reggae arrangements and smoking originals. One of my new favorite bands! ”
“Niceness, conscious roots reggae and perhaps the hottest band out of Telluride since the legendary 8750.”
“If you told me in a year that a Telluride band had blown up and was getting national attention, and I had to guess today who that band would be, it would surely be Niceness. First off, they play a genre of music - reggae- that is not crowded with bands (particularly good ones). Secondly, they have a lead singer who could be a bonafide star in Koral Delatierra. And finally, the band is incredible. They lay down a smooth reggae beat, have great horns and are as tight as a knot on a sailboat.”
