Calling The Maytals Band "Rocksteady" is an absolute understatement. This powerhouse group of performers has helped to establish the very foundation of Reggae music. Continually redefining the sound of modern Reggae, The Maytals Band manages to infuse their music with Rock, Blues, Funk, Pop and Soul. The result is a rich tapestry of energetic sound with universal appeal.
The Maytals Band is no stranger to hit music. They are well-known for decades of albums and world tours with Toots Hibbert, The Godfather of Reggae. In 2005, their LP, "True Love" won the Grammy for "Best Reggae Album". They hold the Guinness World Record for shortest time between the recording and release of a live album-TOOTS LIVE at the Hammersmith Palais.
The Maytals Band has performed with legendary musicians such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton, Al Green, Jimmy Cliff, No Doubt, Ryan Adams, Ben Harper, and many more.
Leba Hibbert's prodigal voice has an undeniable conviction with the ability to move and captivate all who listen. Backing up the vocal power is an endless supply of incredibly catchy music that you can't help but move your body to; provided by Reggae's most accomplished musicians.
The Maytals Band's rhythmic, high-energy grooves embody the true spirit of Reggae music. Please join us on Thursday, November 1st at the UW-La Crosse Campus to hear for yourself.
