The Human Rights in Stratford

Event Details

Event type: Ages 19+

The Human Rights
 
The Human Rights first came together in 2007, united by the talents and vision of Friendlyness, a Toronto Reggae lion who had previously worked with Big Sugar, Culture Shock, and Truth And Rights. He was soon joined by drummer Eric Woolston (Maylee Todd, The Hooded Fang), versatile bassman Tyler Wagler, and keyboardist Bernie Pitters (Toots & The Maytals, Hit Squad), who sadly passed away in 2023. The new album One People carries on Pitters’ loving memory, and his spirit continues to propel the band forward.

Establishing a Reputation
The Human Rights quickly established a reputation for showcasing their original material while opening for the likes of The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, John Holt, Freddie McGregor, Sanchez, and other top international Reggae artists.

The Evolution of the Band
In 2014, much-loved Toronto vocalist Tréson (who has recorded with the likes of Black Uhuru, Spearhead, and Mykal Rose) joined the band, giving The Human Rights a distinctively powerful two-man front line that seamlessly moves between modern roots Reggae, lovers rock, soul, R&B, and dancehall vibes.

After Bernie’s health began preventing him from touring, Canadian keyboard legend Dave Jackson stepped in. The Declaration of Human Rights horn section, featuring members of The Heavyweights Brass Band, Kune, and Shout! The Band, adds the musical icing on the cake.

Albums and Musical Milestones
After making their debut album One Thing in 2010, The Human Rights worked with Big Sugar‘s Gordie Johnson on their 2016 self-titled collection that solidified their sound both in the studio and on stage.

That energy was carried forward on 2021’s Reggae Strong, which Amplify Music Magazine described as, “their finest album to date, while once again proving Reggae’s ability to unite and inspire everyone struggling to get through tough times.”

Looking Ahead: One People
Expect more of the same from The Human Rights on the new album "One People", an album that arrives just when it’s needed most!

The Human Rights return to Revival House, Stratford!
