The VOID Union is a musical collective, brought together by their love of Jamaican music styles. Though the project has only been together for one year, the members are no strangers to the musical lifestyle and all have extensive experience in the professional music and recording industries. Their years of experience in the Jamaican music scene have earned the VOID Union's members the credit and respect of many renowned musicians. Some of those musicians include Lynval Golding (the Specials) Chris Rhodes (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, SpringHeeled Jack and The Toasters) Rick Johnson (Mustard Plug) Jim Conti and Mikie Brown (Streetlight Manifesto) and Dan Regan (Reel Big Fish), who are all featured on the VOID Union's upcoming album.
The VOID Union's mission is to always keep music and art the number one priority. Weather it's headlining Ska shows or backing up Jamaican artists, they see themselves as blue-collar musicians and they want to keep writing and playing as much music as possible.
After all, in a world consumed with money and corrupt politicians, honest music is one of the timeless truths that continues to make this world spin.
The VOID UNION is a collective, their core line-up consists of Thad Merritt (Bass), Jesse Hayes (Drums), Rich Graiko (Trumpet), Alex Stern (Guitar), and Anant Pradhan (Tenor, Alto Sax), but they frequently invite other, like-minded, musicians to sit in on their albums and at their shows.
All in all, the VOID UNION just wants to make sweet music and keep people on the dance floor all night long. If its sweet timeless Jamaican grooves you're looking for, come see the VOID UNION, you are guaranteed to find your foot tapping and your booty shakin.

just chillin at home after a somewhat long drive home from jersey tonight listening to TVU and i just can't stop playing Strange Manor. What a great minor key ska song!~ i would put it up against just about any song by "you know who".
Founding member and former front man of John Brown’s Body Kevin Kinsella returns to Southern Cali August 1 to perform with Elijah Emmanuel and the Revelations. Come out and show some love!
A typical Kevin Kinsella set includes his new original reggae, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant music and classic JBB songs.
i just landed a gig at all asia in cambridge and i was thinking it would be awesome if you guys came and hung out with me and my new band. hope to see you soon!
