The Human Rights

The Human Rights came together in 2007, due to the talent and vision of lead singer and TorontoReggae lion, Friendlyness, drummer Eric Woolston, versatile bassman, Tyler Waglerand the band’s original keyboardist Bernie Pitters, who passed away in 2023 and in whose loving memory the band continues forward. The band quickly gained a reputation as Toronto’s house Reggae band of sorts, sharing the stage with some Reggae heroes, including The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs and Beres Hammond. In 2014, much-loved Toronto vocalist Tréson joined the band, giving The Human Rights a distinctively powerful two-man front line that seamlessly moves between modern roots reggae, lovers rock, soul, R&B and dancehall vibes. After Bernie Pitters’ health began preventing him from touring, Canadian keys legend Dave Jackson stepped in on bubble and skank. The “Declaration of Human Rights’ horn section is now led by acclaimed trombonist Tom Richards. Appearing in over 250 festivals and shows across Canada and the USA, and have recorded three albums.
