Wareika Hill is the cream of Philadelphia's crop, rising to the top with a JA tip. From the ashes of Rathskeller, the Blue Roots and Bagga Riddim Band comes a hot blend of roots, soul and funky reggae.
Veterans of the Philly reggae and ska scene, Sean "MacIrie" McPhillips (drums), "Lord" Tedford Juachon (lead vocals/trombone), and Dave "Squire" Segal (lead guitar) have played together in various incarnations on and off for ten years. Joined by the musical kinship of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Dan "Brawta" Poruban in 2005, the core of Wareika Hill was born. Stepping to the plate and knocking it out of the park with both his playing and vocal abilities, “Killer” Kevin Killen (keys/vocals) holds down the skank and bubble while the whole group sits firmly on the foundation laid by "Atomic" Larry Kelsall (bass guitar). The late addition of Adam "Bigga Lungs" Flicker (trumpet/vocals) finishes the seasoning in the musical stew which is the current incarnation of Wareika Hill.
Current and former projects from the members of Wareika Hill include: Inspecter 7, King Django's Roots & Culture, Skanatra, Stubborn All-Stars, the Studebakers, Version City Rockers, the Brakes, Steadfast United and Killen Thyme.
