Jamrock Reggae Band

Out of Many, We are One!

About Me

Jamrock was founded in 1995 through the desire of a few Jamaicans to hear AUTHENTIC reggae music played live. All versions of reggae are played i.e. Lovers Rock, Oldies, Dancehall and Roots. Favorite American tunes are also covered, some of them in reggae style. The band has played in numerous venues, both local and out of state.Check the Geocities website for a list of venues where Jamrock Reggae Band has performed.The success of the group can be attributed to their sound which reflects the true style of how reggae music is played back in Jamaica. The members of Jamrock are professionals who understand time commitments, quality service and the benefits that providing a good service can bring. When all the ingredients are combined, there's no sound quite like the Jamrock sound.
