DUBTONIC KRU, captivating audiences in the U.S.A

The founding members of the five member Jamaican dub/reggae band, Dubtonic Kru,are Deleon “Jubba” White and Strickland “Stone” Stone, a dynamic Drum & Bass duo who, over the years have contributed to the development of modern Roots Reggae, with their unique sound and approach that intertwines Jubba’s mesmerizing Reggae/Jazz Fusion drumming with Stone’s groovy, yet pulsating bass lines. This duo has gained about a decade and a half of experience from touring and or recording with the legendary likes of Max Romeo, U-Roy, Burning Spear, The Mighty Diamonds as well as modern day artistes such as Bushman, Junior Kelly, Richie Spice, Lutan Fyah and Voicemail to name a few…

Their music is a rare and eclectic mix of roots reggae and explosive dub instrumentals with influences from many different genres of music that appeals to a wide range of audiences across the globe.

Dubtonic Kru, in addition boasts two up front vocalists: Kamau, "the quiet warrior" adds a powerful and revolutionary voice, along with his energetic role on percussions and Jallanzo's equally unique and versatile voice, not to mention his guitar riffs, twirling around the keyboard melodies of Luke Dixon's magical hands on the keyboards.

The group's first album, "Jungle Fever" debuted the awakening of a new breed of musicians taking traditional Roots Reggae music to a whole new level.

The first single off the album, "Hold on Still" enjoyed the #1 position for over 10 weeks on a prominent UK radio chart as well as significant rotation on a slew of radio stations and sound systems across Europe.

In the summer of 2009, after a hectic European tour, Dubtonic Kru took the stage at the prestigious "Reggae Sumfest" festival in Jamaica. They performed on "International Night One" to rave reviews

The Kru's second album, "DUB TONIC" was released in November 2009 and was once again met with overwhelming response.

In Spring 2010 the band and their new album were warmly embraced by US audiences that rocked and grooved to their sound on their first American tour alongside Grammy award winning Mykal Rose (former member of Black Uhuru). It was this response that summoned the Kru back to the States in the summer to perform at a number of venues across the Mid West and West Coast including the acclaimed Sierra Nevada World Music Festival.

Dubtonic Kru has put on many outstanding performances in many countries...among the most notable are Ostroda Reggae festival (Poland), Uppsala Reggae Festival (Sweden), Rototom Sunsplash (Italy), NOWA Reggae Festival (Spain), Reggae Sumfest (Jamaica), Reggae on the Mountain (Utah), Sierra Nevada World Music Festival (California), and Bay Front Reggae Festival (Minnesota).

Dubtonic Kru will once again be back in the U.S.A for an extended tour this fall.


Stay tuned for their tour dates coming this fall.
