Vocalist and guitarist Rome Ramirez is bidding farewell to Sublime with Rome after 15 years with one final tour in 2024. even owned his first guitar, there were a handful of songs that captivated him enough to deconstruct and learn them for himself on instruments he’d borrowed. On that list of songs was the “Wrong Way” by Sublime, a band he revered as a fan, never imagining that he would one day stand as their frontman.
Vocalist and guitarist Rome Ramirez is bidding farewell to Sublime with Rome after 15 years with one final tour in 2024. “It’s a wonderful part of my history that I will forever be proud of, and Godspeed and God bless Jakob, Bud, and Eric on their endeavors,” he continued. “I just know that it’ll be great. That’s what this life is about, taking great opportunities, doing them to the best of your ability, and being thankful for it all along the way.”
After one-on-one sessions with Wilson, they began performing at parties at the bassist’s home in Long Beach, where they would cover Sublime songs. Word of the gigs started to travel, and an idea for a new project emerged. Wilson then brought on Sublime drummer, Gaugh, and by 2009, they formed a new iteration of the group, Sublime with Rome, and debuted their first album, “Yours Truly,” in 2011.
“I grew up on Sublime and love that music, but that was about to the extent of what I knew about the California reggae scene,” he said.” In complete honesty, I wasn’t really aware of it because I was from the Bay Area. Then I joined the band, and that’s where I was it at the same time. So it was a very weird situation where I was literally meeting Pepper and listening to them . It’s the same with Slightly Stoopid and bands like Rebelution, whom I had never heard of until we were on tour.
Ramirez also grew up listening to Mowtown records, thanks to his parents’ music taste. He said he’s excited to release the music he’s been working on, which he describes as “Otis Redding meets Stevie Wonder meets Bob Marley’s rock steady vibe.” Hints of what’s coming out of his solo work can be heard on his cover of Lee Fields’ ballad “Forever.
