Reggae legend Don Carlos, a founding member of Black Uhuru, brings his unmistakable voice and classic roots sound to The Catalyst. With a solo career spanning decades, he remains a beloved figure in Jamaican music, known for soulful melodies and messages of unity. Joining him is Junior Toots, son of the legendary Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals, whose spirited blend of ska, reggae, and soul carries his family’s musical legacy forward with a style all his own.
Born in Jamaica and raised in the rhythm of reggae, Junior Toots carries forward a legendary musical legacy while creating a sound that’s uniquely his own. Blending soulful roots reggae, infectious ska rhythms, and uplifting messages, his music brings people together through rhythm, positivity, and the power of love.
Pacific Roots is building their popularity by stirring the crowd with their upbeat reggae jams, mixed with punk rock swells and solos, blending melodiously to produce an original California-based sound and vibe.
