The Human Rights first came together in 2007 around the talents and vision of Friendlyness, a Toronto Reggae lion who had previously worked with Big Sugar, Culture Shock and Truth And Rights. He was joined by drummer Eric Woolston, versatile bassman Tyler Wagler and keyboardist Bernie Pitters (Toots & The Maytals, Hit Squad), who sadly passed away in 2023. One People carries on Pitters’ loving memory, and his spirit continues to propel the band forward. The Human Rights quickly established a reputation while showcasing their original material while opening for the likes of The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, and other top international Reggae artists. In 2014, much-loved Toronto vocalist Tréson joined the band, giving The Human Rights a distinctively powerful two-man front line. After Bernie’s health began preventing him from touring, Canadian keyboard legend Dave Jackson stepped in. The Declaration of Human Rights horn section is the musical icing on the cake.
