Dave is a founding member of Dr. Jah, and keeper of the primal reggae fire.

Before Dr. Jah, Dave played guitar in the Green Scene, with some friends (like future/one-time Dr. Jah soundman, Dan Ireland). Seeing how much fun bands like Foster's Market and Bootleg were having prompted Dave to pick up a guitar and start practicing. His irrepressible, good-natured self-confidence already made him a natural in front of an audience.

Dave is Dr. Jah's main songwriter, creating both lyrics and music. He plays guitar --sometimes reshaped by his guitar synth into a flute, sax, organ or something else entirely -- and drum synthesizer, plus he handles his share of the singing with flair.

The 2005 Dr. Jah release, Who Feels It Knows It, was recorded and mixed in Irish Rose Studio. Dave is the man behind the studio (named in honor of his Mom) as well as Really High Records, Dr. Jah's record label.

Pete is the other founding guitarist of Dr. Jah, and is usually the one the band turns to first for lead vocals. He's the only member of the band who actually saw Bob Marley & the Wailers perform, though he doesn't hold it against the rest when the music starts.

Prior to finding his home in Dr. Jah, he played with Foster's Market and Random Coolzip, an infamous Rye Bread super-group. He also was called on to fill in (at different times) for both Dave and Juan of Half~Step after various mishaps forced them temporarily off-stage.

Pete is also an expert on the repair and maintenance of pipe organs via his work with the Carey Organ Company.

Brian first joined Dr. Jah as the full-time bassist in 1994, although he had sat in a couple of times for Dave Woolworth before that. He stepped aside a few months later, but kept showing up to sing backup, play percussion, or fill-in on bass as needed. He rejoined the band for good in 1997. Some of the songs that Brian's written are also in the Dr. Jah repertoire.

His involvement with Dr. Jah precedes his bass tenure, as he was the recording engineer on Black and White, and sang backup on Twist One Up.

Before joining Dr. Jah, Brian was bassist and shared vocal duties in Armonk NY-based Bootleg, along with future WEQX and WPYX DJ "Joel Marshall" Rubin. He and drummer CJ Schermerhorn left Bootleg in 1987 to form the proto-jam band, Free Association.

Dr. Jah and Free Association played together at numerous parties and shows, where they would jam and sometimes switch bands entirely while maintaining the groove. To complete the connection, Black and White was recorded at Free Association Studios (now Chase Studios) in Mt. Kisco NY. At the final Free Association show in 1992, the opening act was Dr. Jah & the Love Prophets.

Brian still plays with Joel in the Brain Darts (the heir of Bootleg) between Dr. Jah gigs. They began recording work in Dave's studio in November 2004 to capture some of the Bootleg/Brain Darts underground classics.

Steve joined Dr. Jah in the Fall of 2001, after holding down the drum seat for such local favorites as Smart Alex, A.D.'s, Countdown, El Extreme and 2 Big.

Steve had done sound for the band a few times, and was the right man in the right place at the right time when the drum slot opened. His seasoned approach and metronomic sense of time have helped solidify Dr. Jah's big bottom sound.

Steve also did the hard labor to set up Irish Rose Studio, and has done sound design, manufacture and installations with Dalbec Audio Laboratory.

Bobby G. joined Dr. Jah in the Summer of 2004, and has helped the band reach new levels with his percussion prowess and high-energy good spirits. Some of the bands that Bobby's played with include: Repulsion, the Sk8Junkies, Three Dimensions, Absolve and the Hasbeens.

Bobby is also the heart and soul of the Public Skatepark Development/Ravena Organization, and has produced numerous Musical Unity Festivals to raise money towards the construction and maintenance of the Ravena Skatepark.
