Roots Tonic

Roots Tonic

Roots Tonic is the name of the three piece rock/reggae band best known as Matisyahu's backing band for live shows and studio recordings. The band is made up of Aaron Dugan (guitar and sounds), Josh Werner (bass and keyboard, also co-writes songs with Matisyahu), and Jonah David (drums and percussion). They already have recorded two studio and a live album with Matisyahu, but the name Roots Tonic was first mentioned on the inside cover of Matisyahu's 2006 major label album "Youth" and its' dub version, "Youth Dub".

"Youth" producer Bill Laswell was so impressed of the band that he invited them to record a dub album with him. The result, " [http://roir.com/8297.htm Roots Tonic meets Bill Laswell] ", was released in mid 2006 on Reach Out International Records.

As of June 2007, the band seems to be history after Jonah David stopped touring and recording with the other members and Matisyahu and was replaced by Skoota Warner. It is unknown whether Skoota Warner is a member of Roots Tonic.
