about
Based in the mountains of East Tennessee, the Natti Love Joys, Jati (Anthony Allen, formally the bassist for The Congos) & Marla (AKA Sonia Abel of the Love Joys) perform classic reggae as well as their own hybrid form of modern, eclectic Reggae. The band can deliver the great, crowd-pleasing standards of the late 1960’s and 1970’s, the music of Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. The Natti Love Joys also maintain a solid foundation in “lovers’ rock” and “positive dancehall” styles of reggae. With roots that stem from the legendary greats such as Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals and Jimmy Cliff, the sound of the Natti Love Joys is a dynamic blend of reggae, modern rhythm and blues, drum and bass, hip hop, and various forms of jazz. This creative style of music gives way to a unique one of a kind sound that captivates and amazes its crowd show after show. Being no strangers to the musical arena, the Natti Love Joys’ have shared the stage and bill with music greats like Joan Jett, The B-52’s, Richie Havens, Three Dog Night, Jimmy Buffet, the Ramones, Jimmy Cliff, The Clash, The Psychedelic Furs, Arrested Development, The Band, The Inner Circle , Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Horace Andy, Ken Booth, The Congos, The Meditations, Sister Carol, Alton Ellis, Barrington Levi, Beres Hammond, Nadine Southerland, Marcia Griffiths , Super Cat, Lee Scratch Perry, DJ Logic and many more.
