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.
