house of david gang

Now featuring a new generation of talented artists alongside founding members King Selah and Collin \"Jahlin\" Edwards, House of David Gang is Canada\'s busiest touring reggae band. Rooted in the timeless tradition of Jamaican roots reggae from the 70s and early 80s as embodied by the immortal Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer; House of David Gang adds a potent mix of jazz, funk and afrobeat to create a true global reggae orchestra.

The House of David Gang takes its name from the legendary House of Dav
id afterhours on Queen Street West in Toronto, where King Selah, Jahlin Edwards, Rasta Reuben Kwabena, Fredlocks Asher, UncleDropsi, Sister Julie Anne, Donna Makeda, and other artists from the city\'s burgeoning Roots Rock & Reggae & Dancehall scene would meet to jam until sunrise. Over the years, members have included players from essential Toronto reggae bands such as the Resinators, Explorer Band, Revelation, SELASSIE iPOWER and many more.

In the last several years, \"The Gang\" has been one of Canada\'s busiest touring reggae bands. Their annual Bob Marley Birthday Tribute and Food Drive tour has become a staple of the winter music calendar across Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. In Toronto, hundreds of reggae lovers come out for their springtime Original Wailers Showcase and Peter Tosh Tribute. House of David Gang has performed in front of thousands at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Atlantic Jazz Festival, Evolve Festival, Nufunk Festival, The Word On The Street, Ottawa Reggaefest, Toronto Freedom Festival, and more.
