Easy Star All-Stars are a collective family of some of the finest musicians in the New York area. The band features a rotating cast drawn from a talented pool of players, meaning that every show has its own nuances and its own life. The masterminds behind the All-Stars are Easy Star musical director Michael Goldwasser (a.k.a. Michael G), his production partner Victor Axelrod (a.k.a. Ticklah), and his two Easy Star label partners Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer. These four were the team behind the album Dub Side of the Moon (2003), which was a complete re-vision of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. That record has been locked on the Billboard charts for over 5 years.

In 2006 the Easy Star All-Stars released their concert DVD, Dub Side of the Moon Live. While over thirty musicians contributed to the Dub Side CD, the DVD finds a tight and crystallized live touring band. Following this release was Radiodread on August 22, 2006. The long awaited reggae version of Radiohead’s OK Computer has also remained on the Billboard reggae charts since its release. In 2008 the All-Stars are releasing an EP of original music that is featured in their live shows. The EP is titled Until That Day and also features a bonus unreleased dub track from Radiodread.

The Easy Star All-Stars began as a studio ensemble when Michael G and Ticklah were producing and recording the music for Easy Star Records’ debut CD, Easy Star Volume One. With each successive recording, the two principal All-Stars worked with an ever-widening group of musicians to help flesh out their visions. After the release of Dub Side of the Moon, there was intense demand to have the group tour, thanks to the record’s instant success.
