Tony Bell & Kutchie

Reggae band active in the US since late 80s, in Chicago-Illinois & Wisconsin area. Formed by Tony Bell (10) who was playing on cruise ship off Jamaica when he received an offer to play a month of Sundays at Lake Lawn Lodge in Delavan, Wisconsin. He put together a four-piece band who worked almost every day in the Illinois-Wisconsin area, so it was a reason for them to stay. But when the winter hit, two members dropped out, so Tony recruited a couple of new musicians in Jamaica. Current lineup in February 1990 include bassist Darryl Hall (from South Side Chicago) and drummer Peter Beaumont.
