Jah People

Jah People is an award winning American roots reggae band from Philadelphia, PA founded in 2012. Jah People began primarily as a cover band for classic reggae hits from Bob Marley including "Exodus", "Is This Love" and "Redemption Song". The group grew a local interest by embodying Marley's message of love and spirituality, with a blend of musicality to meld funk, rock, reggae, and soul influences. Jah People began to create original songs, such as "Karma Flow" and "Selfish" in 2014, with the title song "Rising High" as an update to Marley's "Exodus" from his ninth studio album. The group is a part of the growing reggae scene in the arts-centered city of Philadelphia, participating in the 2015 and 2016 Caribbean Festival at Penns Landing.

In 2015, Jah People was awarded Best in the "World Music" category of the PHL Live music competition sponsored by Councilman David Oh. They have opened four times for Bob Marley's touring collective, The Wailers, and has associations and/or recordings with rapper Freeway and rising reggae star Jesse Royal. The band traverses the Mid-Atlantic states in 2016 (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey) with a brand-new set featuring songs from the 2015 Rising High release and much more.

The tense climate in the region and the country in 2016 urged Jah People to use their platform and stages to encourage peace and harmony during the 2016 "Pop-Ups For Peace" tour - stops included SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA, and Philadelphia's PHLLive Kickoff Concert and City Summer Concert Series, with pop-up shows at surprise locations. In May 2016, they performed for the Roots Rock Run 5K, an annual fundraiser by Black Thought of The Roots for youth programs in Philadelphia.
