The idea to form NYSJE by combining the best of ska, jazz, and reggae first took shape in 1993 in the mind of “Rocksteady Freddie” Reiter, then the saxophonist for The Toasters. During the hugely successful “Smash Skavoovee Tour,” he convinced his bandmates (trombonist Rick Faulkner and drummer Jonathan McCain) to join his project, as well as the guitarist and keyboardist from the legendary Skatalites, and brought in producer Vic Rice on double bass, who at the time was still involved with the ska-jazz “pseudo-Satanist” group Mephiskapheles. As the years went by, NYSJE saw a succession of musicians from all corners of the world; the band recorded an incredible number of albums, but their paths always lead back to us!

The 20th edition simply couldn’t go on without them.
For the 20th anniversary of the Mighty Sounds Festival, we’ll be welcoming one of the greatest icons of roots reggae—none other than Burning Spear, whose real name is Winston Rodney.

This Dutch singer-songwriter has been through all sorts of bands and projects, from punk rock to hardcore, until he eventually—like his peers Frank Turner and Chuck Ragan—found his niche in telling stories of his life and other ballads with just an acoustic guitar. However, after many years, this likable guy is returning to Mighty Sounds with a full band, so the show will be a bit different from what his fans are used to.
