Putting a little Soca dance music into the mix, Rougher All Stars
evolved from the internationally celebrated ska, rock steady and Grammy
nominated reggae band, “Blue Riddim”. The first American reggae band
to play at the Jamaican Reggae Sunsplash, “Blue Riddim” was that year
unanimously acclaimed best performers. Their subsequent album, Alive in
Jamaica was nominated for a Grammy in 1986 and the hit single “Nancy
Reagan”, topped the international music charts.
“The absolute best reggae dance band in the area.”
Their primary influences, from the foundations of Coxson Dodd’s Studio One label and
Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle label, became the foundation for the Rougher All Stars, which
features some Blue Riddim alumni, along with an all-star modern-day lineup of Kansas
City-Lawrence area musicians. Rock steady, at Holy-Field.
