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, shake well, 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 a decade, adding Rocksteady, Reggae, Latin, Dub, Soul, and even Spy Jazz into their repertoire to create a new sound that has been dubbed "Caribbean Beat."
Eastern Standard Time is a world-class act, with multiple 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.
Their discography has brought them acclaim from as close as their own hometown--where they were dubbed "one of Washington's best bands" by the Washington Post-- to far flung areas of the globe such as Argentina, Russia, Indonesia and Venezuela; just a few of the places where Eastern Standard Time's songs receive regular radio airplay.
Eastern Standard Time has been featured on TV specials and the band's music can be heard in movie soundtracks and on radio stations around the world.
Eastern Standard Time's exciting live performances are guaranteed to get your feet moving. Their unforgettable style and impeccable musicianship bring pleasure to the ears of all listeners; proving that they can bring the house down, time and "Eastern Standard Time" again!
