"I can’t remember the last time a reggae tune grabbed me like this one did. There's an honest warmth to every single performance on this track- and Jay Douglas' vocals are simply otherworldly"- Adam Carter CBC Radio

Toronto meets New Orleans in this anthem of peace and love that's both timely and timeless! “Messengers” hearkens back to the spirit of Bob Marley, not only in its conscious, positive message, but also in its old-school, roots-reggae sound and production style: recorded as it was played, by a band, live, all recorded in the same room at the same time. “‘Messengers’ is a joint project intended to spread positive vibrations,” says Butcher. “Jay and I are trying to create unity in a time when others are trying to divide us".


*Jamaican-born and Toronto-based, Jay Douglas is perhaps the greatest reggae voice you've probably never heard before. A mainstay of the Canadian scene since the 70s, Jay has performed around the world, and at Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition. Jay has won NOW Magazine's Toronto's Best R&B Act, Male Reggae Vocalist of the Year at the Annual Toronto Reggae Awards, and a 2012 JUNO Award nomination.
