KELLY BELL BAND
The Kelly Bell Band, celebrated as Baltimore’s top Blues band for over a decade, is known for their electrifying performances that blend Blues with a dynamic fusion of Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, and Rock. Originally formed as the backing band for rock legend Bo Diddley, KBB has since toured the world, captivating audiences in Japan, Spain, Italy, and beyond. With accolades including two Maryland Music Awards and a reputation as the Mid-Atlantic’s Best Blues Band for 12 consecutive years, they’ve become a staple of the region's music scene.
Their debut album, Phat Blues Music, remains one of the best-selling records in the Mid-Atlantic, and their live shows are renowned for their high energy, audience interaction, and a strong sense of community. Led by the charismatic Kelly Bell—also known as ‘The Bluesman’—the band is committed to both their craft and their fans, making every show an unforgettable experience.
JAH WORKS
Jah Works is a true grassroots success story that emerged from Baltimore’s reggae scene over 20 years ago. This is music made by and for lovers 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, the band has recorded and released 9 albums to date. They have sold over 100,000 copies independently, and with the upcoming release of “Believe”, Jah Works is set to take their music to even higher heights.
Longtime fans know that the Jah Works sound consists of strong vocals over heavy duty original reggae riddims. After a brief hiatus, founding member and original front man, Scotty P. has returned to lead the brothers forward into new musical territory. Together with the rest of the group, they have come up with their best album to date, “Believe” which will be released in 2016. The new album brings the group's evolution full circle, with lush, horn drenched roots reggae music. Mixed by some of reggae music’s top producers, including Jim Fox (Lion & Fox) Tippy I (I Grade), Jason “Jocko” Randall (JBB), Nathan Sabanayagam (Chillhouse Studios), and Baltimore’s own Steve Wright (Wrightway), Jah Works’ latest and greatest effort will cement their standing as one of the finest reggae bands to ever come out of the United States.
