NEVILLE "MACDADDY" ANDERSON, Creator of The Macbone & veteran trombonist, was born in London of Jamaican parents and educated in the USA. He has been playing the trombone from the age of eight and has been able to reach a number of outstanding achievements in music. Alongside the legendary JERRY JOHNSON, they have been featured in countless reggae recordings under the “Bullwackies” label as well as providing horn tracks for other well-known reggae artists such as SUGAR MINOTT, JERRY HARRIS, SISTER CAROL, The Love Joys, and Milton Henry.

Neville had the privilege of performing with several reggae legends such as ROLAND ALPHONSO, HORACE ANDY, LESTER STERLING, SUGAR MINOTT, and CLARK GAYTON. Growing up in the USA afforded Neville the opportunity to be exposed to Rhythm & Blues at its infancy (when it was still being performed live) and he was able to view the performances of great entertainers and their bands...the likes of James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Cameo, Ohio Players, Kool and the Gang (before JT), Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, and D’Angelo.
