The Tidals represent the deep-roots reggae era of Jamaican music. They began their musical journey in the 1960s with three members, Winston Cleveland, Eupert Reid and Aston Pryce, doing their first recording, Rebel Nyah, for Channel One producer Phill Pratt.

In 2000, when Aston Pryce died under tragic circumstances, his spot was quickly filled by Calvin Richards, formerly of the Richards Brothers group.
