The Upsessions

The Upsessions is a six-piece formation, dressed in green tracksuits, who are inspired by the early reggae of the sixties. Great examples are -of course- The Upsetters, The Meters, The Skatalites, Desmond Dekker and Toots and the Maytals.

The band is a mainstay at all ska & reggae festivals throughout Europe and with second album Beat You Reggae the pop festivals follow. A boy's dream comes true when The Upsessions record fifteen new tracks together with reggae icon and Grammy winner Lee 'scratch' Perry at the end of 2013. The fourth album, Shake It!, is created in their self-built studio . In addition to Perry and a brass section, the Dutch singer/songwriter Tim Knol can also be heard on this album. Through these guest contributions, but also through excursions into ska, calypso, soul and funk, the band around Boss van Trigt rises above itself once again.
