Biography from Band's Facebook Page:
Put together top musicians from the Jazz and Reggae scenes, give them the recipe for the original Jamaican Ska, throw a dose of Soul in the mix and the result is Eastern Standard Time. From their initial days as a Be Bop influenced Ska-Jazz supergroup, the band has matured over more than two decades, adding Rocksteady, Reggae, Dub, Soul, and even Spy Jazz into their repertoire.
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.
Asked to back such classic Jamaican artists such as Roy "Mr. Symarip[" Ellis, Charley Organaire, and Derrick Morgan, EST has cut their teeth with the originators of the style, including releasing a live album with Derrick Morgan that was recorded at the 2017 Supernova International Ska Festival. They can also occasionally be found as a backing band for artists as diverse as King Django, Dr. Ring-Ding, Chris Murray, and Mr. T-Bone.
Eastern Standard Time’s music has been featured on television and in film. They can be heard in movie soundtracks and on radio stations around the world.
