JOHN DECARLO & CO

John DeCarlo & Co. is a high-energy musical collective led by veteran guitarist and songwriter John DeCarlo. Drawing from over two decades of international touring—including stints in 13 countries and performances at world-renowned venues—DeCarlo brings a seasoned, global perspective to his signature sound.

Best known for his work with the acclaimed ska-reggae outfit Westbound Train, King Django's Version City Tour and Jamaican Reggae artist Mighty Mystic, DeCarlo’s solo project, John DeCarlo & Co. , strips back the layers to focus on the core of the groove. The band seamlessly blends elements of Reggae, Ska, and Soulful Americana, creating a vibe that is as comfortable on a festival main stage as it is in an intimate club setting.

Based in the Northeast, the group has become a staple of the regional music scene, frequently hosting high-profile events like the official Streetlight Manifesto after-parties at the House of Blues Boston. Whether performing as a tight-knit trio or a full ensemble, John DeCarlo & Co. delivers a masterclass in rhythm, storytelling, and musical craftsmanship.
