DUB TRINITY came together in Peterborough, Ontario the brainchild of veteran musicians Beau Dixon and Gregory Roy. Their unique style is a fusion of dub-reggae and improvised drum and bass with conscious lyrics. They also combine a keen melodic savvy with vast artillery of rhythms from around the globe. Not surprisingly Dub Trinity appeals to a wide range of audiences and their fan base has grown rapidly in the 5 plus years that they have played together.

Dub Trinity's high versatility has resulted in regular invitations to perform at poetry readings, folk festivals and community based political and social events. These include headlining the 2003 Mayworks Festival, the 2004 and 2005 International Dub Poetry Festivals, Symposium on Accessible Education, the 2004 Indymedia Conference in Ottawa, labour fairs and the Peterborough Folk Festival to name a few. The band is currently backing Dub Poets and Social Activists Chet Singh, Afua Cooper and d'bi Young. Other artists with whom Dub Trinity has collaborated include social activist Faith Nolan,2-time Gemini Award winner Clifton Joseph, spoken-word artist Dwayne Morgan, 2-time Juno Award winner Lillian Allen and Nick "the Brownman" Ali among others.

High on Dub Trinity's agenda is to organize events that combine great reggae music with community, social and political awareness. Currently Dub Trinity invites Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to attend their shows to talk about their organizations' goals as well as set up tables where people can talk one-on-one to NGO representatives. The result has been highly successful with people having good fun, dancing, learning and becoming more aware of their local and global communities.

The Dub Trinity Unity Band is an 8 piece extension of the Dub Trinity project. Unity was first formed to play sets of covers of roots reggae, afrobeat and r+b classic songs and includes a horn section, percussionists, multiple vocals and whatever else they might conjure up. This is a great band for hire.

Gregory (drums, percussion) has played percussion for over 15 years. His influences stem from western music and bloom into Caribbean, West and South East African and Middle-Eastern rhythms. While living in the Middle East, he played with a number of reggae musicians from bands such as "ROOTS AFRIKA" and "RASDAN AND THE DESERT LIONS" and played with members of Ottawa? "RAGGAMUFFIN" band back in Canada. Gregory teaches West African and Brazilian percussion.

Beau (bass, keyboards) (www.beaudixon.com) is well known for his musical collaborations with recognized reggae artists such as Faith Nolan, Mike 'King Speckles' McKenzie (drummer for world renown roots reggae band Culture) and Virgin recording artists 'ONE' among others. Beau, an acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has produced other artists and has recently released his second solo CD.

Dub-Poet Chet Singh originally performed with the reggae band ONE MIND in the mid 1980's and has recently resumed performing with Dub Trinity. Over the last several years he has directed his energies to anti-racism work in the education system and arts and community organizations. He was one the principal organizers of the highly successful INTERNATIONAL DUB POETRY FESTIVAL and Dub Poets Collective and also served the province as a member of the board for the ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL.
