Wet City Rockers

Wet City Rockers came in to existence when Micah Averiett set out on a mission to create a rootsy duby reggae band while living in the wonderful city of Seattle. Micah Averiett and Bill Patton, (who both played in a Reggae fusion band in 2002 called Jamaica Heights in George Town) started with a simple ad in the Seattle Stranger mag .They then created the first Wet City Rockers album .The album made a decent noise in the Reggae community worldwide. A few dozen shows, and a mini tour later the band dissolved due to the spider legs that all grew Indian chief heads and unfortunately wanted to walk different directions. Micah Averiett and Bill Patton went on to link up with other local musicians here in Seattle. After a few failed attempts they linked up with Ryan Bowering a solid drummer coming in from the Canadian highlands. After a year of searching for a qualified bassy they happened across a Northern California bass player (Jarrett Mason) who moved up to Seattle for a change of pace and just so happened to be a perfect fit to complete Wet City's rhythm section. They went on to link up with Tim Conroy a talented keyboard and trumpet player and friend of Jarrett Mason to complete the core of the band. Shortly after Brandon Hunter the young trombone player with soul from a previous life, joined in as well to make what is now the Wet City Rockers.
