The people of Pittsburgh have a love for Reggae music and The Flow Band has been happy to give it to them for more than 30 years. Founded by the late Uzell Finney Jr., The Flow Band was originally called Rastafari but was soon changed to The Flow Band to commemorate the flow of Caribbean music. Presently, the band performs Reggae, Caribbean, R&B, Jazz and Afro Cuban music.

The Flow Band is comprised of 7 members: Ernest Pollard, Drums; Anthony Wilson, Bass Guitar; Lloyd Willacy, Lead Guitar; Chris Hnat, Steel Pan; Randy Tillmut, Keyboards; Deborah Starling, Lead Vocals and Tonya Mason, Background Vocals.

In 2023, the Flow Band performed at several festivals and special events, to include: Seven Springs Octoberfest, Kennywood Park Caribbean Days, SandCastle’s Park, August Wilson Center’s Community Day, Westmoreland County Arts and Heritage Festival, Juneteenth Festival and Highmark’s First Night in Downtown Pittsburgh. This year, in 2024, the band is beginning the year performing at the University of Pittsburgh for Black History Month with many more events to come!

The band prides itself on accommodating any occasion with music to make the audience dance and enjoy!
