Chris Carrabba Joins Us For BTTI 2018

Feb 20, 2017 | HANSON

Back To The Island is like nothing else we do all year long.  BTTI combines beautiful Caribbean beaches, endless food and drink, fun activities with good friends and wrapping it all together is a musical experience you can get nowhere else.  

Merging those two elements of music and friendship, we are very excited to share that in 2018 our friend Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) will be joining Back To The Island 2018 as our musical guest. For years we have talked about doing something together with Chris. We feel like BTTI is going to be a perfect destination to bring our two worlds together for a powerful musical union. We’re so excited to have Chris joining us and we hope you will be there, too. Stock up on beach towels, flip flops and suntan lotion 'cause after a busy 2017, we want to start 2018 strong with you, some music and an epic journey Back To The Island.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac

The DC song "July" was one of my favorites in high school. Pretty sure I have it on a mix CD that my most emo guy friend made for me circa about junior year. It totally holds up.

Back To The Island is a long way off ponderous dream alter reality for me but seeing my name in a sentence about wanting to do something together with ... made my day !

It sounds like an amazing experience for those able to go again. I don't know much about Chris Carabba but I'm sure he will add to the concerts for the week. I have to confess I'm a little sad to hear that that Hanson will never do solo shows anywhere other then in Jamaica.

Anyone up for some drunken renditions of Hands Down at the top of their lungs? Because, lets face it, that's gonna happen at least once.

Hands down, this is the best special guest announcement I can ever remember (So far). :-p


Dashboard was basically my Hanson in high school.

Sounds like I should check him out! The band name is familiar though, but not sure I know any songs...:( Must've been a little bigger stateside, maybe.

Same here, never heard of him. I don't think they were very famous in Europe. I listened to a couple of songs on Spotify and it sounds a bit too emo-light for me.

I know a few Dashboard songs and I know who they are. I think its cool that they got him as the special guest.
