简介

What began as a group of friends with common interests in music evolved naturally into the current configuration that is Don Chani. The lead singer and principal songwriter, Mark Shaddock, spent time in Jamaica as a teenager absorbing the music and culture that is so strongly associated with the island nation. After meeting Erick Bohorquez (lead guitar, vocals), Oney, Jacob Benenate aka Dr. Dubbist (drums), they soon fused their musical styles with the decidedly reggae oriented drumming style of Dr. Dubbist and latin influences of Erick Bohorquez. As Don Chani grew to encompass a larger number of members, their warm organic sound was raised to new levels with the addition of keyboardist Matt Jacobs, rhythm guitarist Mike Franklin, bassist Nico Sanchez, third singer Chris Nerren, and horn player Jason Frey. Finally our most recent addition drummer Johnny Radelat. Drawing from an era that many consider to be reggae’s golden age, the late 60s through the late 70s, and the latin influences of two of its members, Don Chani has carved out a unique sound unmatched by any of its contemporary counterparts. Don Chani regularly tours and is a mainstay at the state’s biggest reggae festival, The Austin Reggae Festival. Don Chani has shared the stage with reggae greats such as The Skatalites, Culture, Eek A Mouse, Luciano, Sister Carol, The Wailing Souls, Morgan Heritage, The Meditations, Sierra Leone Refugee AllStars, and The Mighty Diamonds. The band recently released its first album, “From the Hilltops” and a corresponding dub album, “Dub the Hilltops.”
