An Interview with The Prisoners

The Prisoners are a roots reggae and dub quartet from Hampton Roads, Virginia. Members include Walker Pillow (Guitar and Vocals), Zach Moats (Keys and Vocals), Scott Davis (Drums and Vocals) and Brian Moore (Bass). The Prisoners combine years of playing experience with university level jazz and classical training. Formal training, a unique approach to songwriting, and a wide variety of influences, combine to expand the concept of reggae music.

Playing an upbeat and danceable style of reggae with vocal harmonies and group improvisation, the music and energy of the Prisoners’ live performances has generated a fast-growing and enthusiastic following everywhere they have played.

The Prisoners formed in 2006, playing a year-long stretch of successful shows in Virginia and North Carolina. After a hiatus to pursue solo projects the band reformed and reorganized in 2008. In 2008, the band performed live on 89.5 WHRV-FM's "Out of the Box" and played to a crowd of 600+ at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News, Virginia. In January 2009, the Prisoners were featured on Revolutionary Radio in Williamsburg, VA.

The Prisoners play regularly throughout Hampton Roads, VA and are seeking venues to play along the east coast. Members of the Prisoners have worked with cutting edge vocalists: Niyorah, Iba, Danny I, Abja, Mada Nile, Tuff Lion and Black Culture and have shared the stage with reggae greats: Culture, Israel Vibration, Mikey Dread, Midnite, Bambu Station, SOJA, John Brown’s Body, Eek a Mouse, Richie Spice, and Dubconscious. ..
