Washington D.C. based Third Eye is a truly international band that unites musicians from the Caribbean basin. The band members have been playing together since 1981 and have developed into a high-energy, Roots Rock Reggae band known for instrumental dubs and subtle international influences. The name Third Eye is derived from the Egyptian symbol of the all seeing,metaphysical Third Eye of consciousness. It suits them perfectly, for the original sound they produce is hypnotic, mystical and powerful.
They have toured all over the U.S. and has shared the stage with artists such as Third World, Burning Spear, Israel Vibrations, Jimmy Cliff, The Wailers, Black Uhuru, Culture, Alpha Blondy, Lucky Duby ,Gregory Isaacs and Peter Broggs. They were also honored to perform at one of Bill Clinton’s victory parties where they delighted over 4,000 guests. This led to news coverage by the all the major networks.
In 1991 they received Four Wammies from the Washington Area Music Association for their album “Shadow of the Pyramid”. These were for Best Reggae Group, Best Produced Reggae Album, Best Reggae Album “Shadow of the Pyramid” and Best Reggae Instrumentalist “Shambu keyboards”. Their album”Rights Of Man” was also voted by Reggae Report Magazine as the #1 “Best Independently Produced Reggae Album” by a U.S. based artist.
They have been influenced by many reggae greats; however several artists in particular had a profound impact on the band “Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, Aswad and Black Uhuru”.
