The Devastators

Established in 2000, The Devastators are a four-piece reggae outfit  based out of San Diego, California. Their sound has been described as a soulful  mix of roots reggae and dub with a hint of funk, combining heavy drum and bass  grooves and the old school sounds of Hammond organ, clavinet, and piano. The  core line-up consists of prominent SD reggae musicians Ivan Garzon (lead  vocals, bass), John Allen (drums, backing vocals), Alex Somerville (keyboards),  and Brian Teel (backing vocals, guitar, keyboards). These four veteran  performers share over 10,000 hours of combined stage experience and have  backed International artists such as Pato Banton, Big Mountain, The Wailing  Souls, Garth Dennis, The Itals, Elijah Emanuel, James McWhinney, Edi Fitzroy,  Earl Zero, Wadi Gad, Bunny Mystic, Mystic Bowie, Majic (NZ), Carlos Paez (B Side Players), Roots Covenant, One Drop, Kevin Kinsella (John Brown's  Body/10ft. Ganja Plant), Dennis Bovell, Johnny Clark, and Flabba Holt among  others. 

A graduate of Cal Arts, singer/songwriter Ivan Garzon is both an  accomplished bassist and vocalist, possessing the rare ability to combine the two  seamlessly in live performance. Garzon’s talents blend well with one of the  hardest working rhythm sections in Southern California, well known locally for  over a decade performing and recording with Elijah Emanuel and the Revelations  and touring internationally with Big Mountain and Quinazo (solo project of  singer/songwriter Quino McWhinney of Big Mountain). 

The Devastators debut album "Frontline" and song "Find A Way" won  2nd and 3rd place respectively in the Reggae Album and Reggae Song  categories in the 2009 JPF Independent Music Awards held in Nashville. They  were voted “Best World Music” in the 2010 San Diego Music Awards and  received nominations in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, and  2015. In 2012 they were awarded the SDMA for “Best World Music Album” for  their 3rd studio release “Lights of Tomorrow.” They received another JPF award  in 2020 when the song “I Know” won Best Island/Reggae Song and their album  “Lights of Tomorrow” won 2nd place in the Island/Reggae album category. Their  studio catalog receives over a million plays annually on popular digital streaming  services.
