About Me

Having a loyal nationwide fan base, and repeatedly voted Denver's best ska/reggae act, Judge Roughneck has gained both commercial success and critical acclaim. Due to the band's widespread appeal and gargantuan bulges, JR has performed numerous times at Reggae on the Rocks Festival at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater.
JR routinely draws hundreds of fans to its shows across Colorado, and has been featured on numerous Denver area commercial radio stations including KBCO, KTCL, KBPI and Alice 106.
Judge Roughneck's unique brand of pop-reggae pays tribute to both the early '80's British 2-Tone movement and the original jazzlaced ska of Jamaica, while infusing a generous dose of soul and R&B. The result is a unique, high-energy dance sound that entertains a wide audience.
Due to the band's appealing sound, professionalism and gigantic units, Judge Roughneck has been asked to perform with such international greats as UB40, Burning Spear, General Public, The Skatalites, The Specials, The Wailers, and Fishbone, and has aired on over 200 radio stations nationwide. Judge Roughneck also landed a promotional deal with Corona Beer, which has aired the song "Hot!" all over U.S. radio.
Judge Roughneck has 3 CDs:
"TRUE" - a dub/ 2-tone pleasureland for your ear-holes
"Skankin' Naked" - a multi-media extravanganza including videos, photos, and bonus live songs.
"Rude One's Money Making Scheme" - a powerhouse of 2-Tone ska.
