About Me

“Jah jah children a de healing of de nation,” sings Karly, a testament to Yard Squad’s commitment to the spirit of reggae music. Yard Squad is a St. Louis-based reggae Band formed in 1994. Since the band’s inception, Yard Squad has performed with numerous regional and international acts across the country in shows ranging from small clubs to large festivals. They have emerged as a premier reggae act in the U.S.
Yard Squad is best known for its unique blend and performance of socially conscious roots, reggae, and dancehall. With the anticipated release of its new album, several of the band’s original hits have been integrated into its set and always prove to be crowd-pleasers.
Yard Squad, like the originators of reggae music, proudly accept the duty of spreading the message of "Love and Unity" through the inspirational music they bring to the people. Don't miss Yard Squad live!
