Detour Posse is without a doubt the hottest band on the LA scene. These dynamic & talented individuals came together about 10 years ago seeking to create a new breed of Reggae music. Since then, they've been working very hard and inspiring each other to create a melodic blend of roots, dancehall, lover's rock, ska, R&B and funk that is sweet enough to soothe the soul, hard enough to move the feet, and always guaranteed to rock the crowd. The Detour Posse consistently gets their crowd up, excited & dancing. Be sure to check out the debut, independently produced CD from the Detour Posse, it's called - "Chariots in the Sky" Detour Posse has risen up the ranks of the Los Angeles club scene to become one of the most sought after acts in California.
