Thursday, October 8th is Volume Two of the Bob Marley Tribute, featuring Eric Smith (coming up from CT, with flag wavers!). He sounds like Michael Rose & Junior Reid. Roberto Gell has just returned from LA, he's got a few versions in store. Jem-i and Skiffington both got bawling big ups from the audience in Boston last week.

 

Everyone's gonna be backed by the Dub Station band, which (for this night only) will include the original trio on bass, drums, and keys (Rider McCoy!). The full band includes horns, guitar, and percussion as well, and the group will be performing some instrumentals of Bob's classics, demonstrating his, and their own capacity to deliver solid music even without vocals.

 

The show's early again: 9pm till 12:30am (with DJ Ceez spinning before, between, and after the 2 sets). Location is 17 Holland Street in Somerville, MA (in Davis Square, across from the T). Lots of area parking, and Johnny D's has a full service (and outstanding) restaurant open from 4pm.

 

After years of focusing all our marketing efforts on Reggae, we are finally ready to branch out. There's a big wide world out there - and even Reggae lovers have other interests - musically & creatively. We're going to open that market by appealing to folks who's first interest may not be Reggae, or even music at all, but some other creative arts. Next, we're appealing to businesses who might need help marketing themselves, so we're offering special deals to help them get the word out there, while they focus on what they do best: producing whatever goods or services they excel in.
