biographical info
After spending decades in pretty much every rhythm section of every one of Southwestern Ontario's premier reggae acts (most notably The Rusty Crowns), Courtknee "Radish" Jeffries struck out on his own, supported by various incarnations of back-up support. Best known for his stripped-down, guitar and vocals-only stark tales of the human condition, Radish sees things through the eyes of a poet and interprets them with the heart of a lion.
"Radish stole my second wife and destroyed my family, but his reggae music is so uplifting that I've forgiven him and now consider him a close personal friend." - Richard Johnson, CBC Radio 3
