Roots Tonic

The band was made up of Aaron Dugan (guitar and sounds), Josh Werner (bass and keyboard, also co-writes songs with Matisyahu), and Jonah David (drums and percussion).

Youth producer Bill Laswell was so impressed with the band that he invited it to record a dub album with him.

The result, Roots Tonic meets Bill Laswell, was released in mid-2006 on Reach Out International Records.

In 2007, first Jonah David, and shortly after Josh Werner left Matisyahu's live band, which meant the end of Roots Tonic as well.

In 2011, Bill Laswell and Josh Werner produced Lee "Scratch" Perry's studio album "Rise Again"; Aaron Dugan plays guitar on select tracks.
