Jah Works: Uncompromising Roots Rock Reggae from Baltimore

If you answered yes to this question, chances are you're already familiar Baltimore's own Jah Works. If you are new to the band, you are in for a musical treat of positive vibes and uncompromising roots reggae rock music.

Jah Works is a true grassroots success styory that emerged from Baltimore's reggae scene over 20 years ago. This is music made by and for lover of real, authentic reggae music. Consistently performing hundreds of shows a year worldwide, they have forged their sound in clubs, festivals, and on the sun drenched beaches of Negril. Their sound is firmly planted in the roots of Jamaican music and culture, encompassing rock steady, reggae, and elements of dancehall and dub. What Jah Works does best is introduce the novice music listener to the fullness of reggae music and culture.

Formed in 1993, the band found their identity while listening to the song "Jah Works" by the classic Jamaican vocal group The Gladiators. Lyrics like "I'm a man of prayer, none of my doings, shall ever go wrong," and "Jah hear I when I Cry" resonated with the members, and so Jah Works was moved to begin writing their own original reggae music. Starting with "Feast or Famine" in 1994, th band has recorded and released 9 albums to date. They have sold over 100,000 copies independently, and are primed to take their music to even higher heights.
