The group took root in Woodstock as it showcased a fresh amalgam of tunes and players of various backgrounds to form this pulsating sound.

The music - the majority of which is composed by Jamaican born singer/songwriter Ras T - has its roots in traditional Roots Rock Reggae with strong rhythmical and lyrical statements, yet includes various crossover sounds ranging from R & B /Hip Hop and Funk Rock – a mature fusion which reflects Asheber’s well-listened ear and his tenure with Spunky, Simeon, and Defiant Ones.

The POSSE also includes various talented and well-traveled musicians from Woodstock and around the New York music scene, including: Tani Tabbal /Craig Santiago/Zach Alford on drums; Darryl Jenifer/Andrew Shober on bass; Brendan McDonough / Ted Orr on guitar; David Oliver and Ross Rice on keyboards and Jah Dee Culture on percussion. Their diverse backgrounds complement each other and help to concoct a truly “spicy” new sound - Roots Rock, as Ras T likes to call it.

The live repertoire is crisp and stimulating with an imaginative mixture of originals and cover songs – music for yo' mind, soul and booty while you dance your “you know what” off. ..on the same bill with internationally renown actsincluding Jimmy Cliff, Toots & the Maytals, The Wailers, Dr.John, NRBQ, Third World, Steel Pulse, P Funk, Sister Carol, SpinDoctors, and The Dave Matthews Band.
