The Philly Reggae All-Stars
The Philly Reggae All-Stars are an 11-piece collective of musicians that have been playing reggae/ska music in various bands throughout the Philadelphia/New Jersey/Tri-State area over the past 20 years. The members first joined forces to re-create and present Aswad’s “Live & Direct” LP as part of local support for Burning Spear’s “Fan Appreciation” Tour at the Theatre of the Living Arts on August 6, 2022. Uniting for this project was for many members of the group - the first return to performing live reggae music in over 2 long pandemic-stricken years - and was a resounding success. The group is looking forward to the future and hopes to continue in more projects and collaborations – both on stage and in the recording studio. The All-Stars consist of: Wesley Rast (Drums), Madison Rast (Bass), Sean McPhillips (Piano), Adam Flicker (Organ); Dave Segal (Lead Guitar); Adam Hershberger (Trumpet); David Fishkin (Saxophone), Cary Hyatt (Trombone), Ben Bean (Lead & Harmony Vocals), Scott Paynter (Lead & Harmony Vocals) and Dan Poruban (Rhythm Guitar, Lead & Harmony Vocals).
