Eastern Standard Time - Washington DC Ska/Jazz - Jamaican ska, reggae, jazz and soul - Vide Put together top musicians from Washington, DC’s Jazz and Reggae scenes, give them the recipe for the original Jamaican Ska, throw a dose of Soul in the mix, shake well, and the result is Eastern Standard Time.
Initially a Be Bop influenced Ska-Jazz supergroup, Eastern Standard Time has matured over more than two decades, adding Rocksteady, Reggae, Latin, Dub, Soul, and even Spy Jazz into their repertoire to create a new sound that has been dubbed “Caribbean Beat.”
Eastern Standard Time is a world-class act, with dozens of tours of The United States, Canada, and Europe to their credit. They can also lay claim to being the first U.S. band of their genre to tour in Russia.
Having performed with classic Jamaican artists such as Mr. Symarip, Charley Organaire and Derrick Morgan, EST has cut their teeth with the originators of the style, including releasing a live album backing Derrick Morgan that was recorded at the 2017 Supernova International Ska Festival. Their discography has brought them acclaim from as close as their own hometown--where they were dubbed “one of Washington’s best bands” by the Washington Post-- to far flung areas of the globe such as Argentina, Russia, Indonesia and Venezuela; just a few of the places where Eastern Standard Time’s songs receive regular radio airplay.
Eastern Standard Time is currently in the studio working on a follow up to 2019's TIME FOR CHANGE, producing a new album featuring all the styles they are known for and are planning several international tours to support its release in 2023, including inclusion in Freedom Sounds Festival in April 2023, and a full EU tour in June 2023.
Unity Sound Reggae Band has been booming classic reggae riddims in the Richmond area since 2005, with an all star cast of Richmond area musicians, this 7 piece ensemble brings years of experience, love and healing to performances all over the DMV.
Unity Sound Reggae Band will open the night with a full set of HEAVY reggae classics and covers.
