The Prizefighters perform ska and rocksteady from Jamaica’s golden era, their brilliant sophomore studio album 'Firewalk' was their first since 2010’s 'Follow My Sound'. Since that release the band has perfected their craft working side by side with the stars that created the music back in the 60’s.  That resume is now quite impressive, it includes backing the 'King of Ska' Derrick Morgan, Stranger Cole including a duet show with Patsy, plus showcases with the dazzling Roy & Yvonne. Their relationship with legendary harmonica player and vocalist Charley Organaire might be the most special, as he joined The Prizefighters in the recording studio for a session that lead to the 2014 mini-album Charley Organaire Meets The Prizefighters which lead to their first European tour.

In the band’s words “it’s not just about playing the songs well; it’s about playing them correctly and authentically” – and the several years worth of authentic 60s Jamaican music conservatory experience between the first record and 'Firewalk' really shows. Working hard on tunes with a mantra of “will this be good enough for Derrick Morgan? Or for Stranger & Patsy?” has conditioned the band to push themselves to ever higher standards. We are so proud to present this stunning new album in 2019 from one of our favorite bands. Let’s face it, without The Prizefighters we wouldn’t have been able to bring so many Jamaican legends to Chicago and keep the spirit of 60’s Jamaica alive.
