I was taking a walk with Cora (sleeping) in a stroller at Disney's Animal Kingdom while the rest of the family rode a roller coaster. We came upon this "acoustic / reggae / tropical" band playing along the path. What caught my ear, before I could see the band, was the bass playing. I was pulled in by the combination of songs with room for the bass player to work plus a bass player who has a great sound and creatively uses the space. I don't usually go for reggae/tropical music, but I stayed for a few songs until they took a break. I took note of the group's name and did some web searching when I got home. I picked up their album "Liming On the Island" from iTunes and was happy that it included the songs and bass I'd heard in Orlando.
