The Stingers ATX

Since 1998, The Stingers ATX have steadily developed their own modern hybrid of Jamaican reggae-rocksteady and classic American soul, from their weekly three-hour showcases at the Black Cat Lounge in Austin, Texas, to New Year’s Eve in Paris. Their songwriting sensibility draws from the styles of Bob Marley and the Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Sam Cooke, and the Drifters. This six-piece lineup, which features established musicians from Austin’s famed music scene, maintains an active tour schedule from Texas to New York City’s Knitting Factory to Europe. In the past four years, the group has shared the stage with reggae and ska legends such as Neville Staple (The Specials) and leading contemporaries (such as The Slackers). They were also part of the Bob Marley Festival Tour, which featured the band throughout the southern U.
