Confirmed bands:
-The Pocket Band: The Pocket is a reggae rock band based out of Washington
DC and Jamaica. With an authentic reggae foundation they put you 'in the
pocket' as elements of hip hop, jazz and rock satisfy your soul. The Pocket
is a distinctly original band that combines alternative rock with authentic
reggae roots. This combination creates an international sound for today's
selective audience. Incredible vocals, memorable lyrics and an infectious
stage energy always leaves listeners wanting more.
-Eric Smith: Eric Smith was born Mark Eric Smith in St. Andrew Jamaica.
He resorts to music as the medium to voice ghetto people’s life-long
struggle for equal rights and justice; for his message of change; and to
expose the decaying morality that is infecting and corrupting the youth
and contemporary society. Eric gets his spiritual strength and inspiration
from the Almighty, Jah Rastafari in whom he rests his unbending faith and
conviction.
-Anguile & The High Steppers Afro Reggae Band: Anguile is a Gabonese-French
reggae artist, founder of "The High Steppers" band, residing in
up-state NY near Albany. Anguile & The High Steppers' African-French
roots reggae is a unique blend of African and European reggae, with a heavy
dose of pure Jamaican roots. Anguile's soulful and spiritual music will
transport you to the coast of Africa in a style reminiscing of Alpha Blondy
or Lucky Dube. “Their best song was the slow, hypnotic, trance-inducing,
Burning Spear-inflected Change Ton Pas (Change Your Ways). Anyone who loves
roots reggae, the old or the new or just any kind of hypnotic, psychedelic
music ought to check these guys out.” Lucid Culture
-Skanktones with Big D: Skanktones are an all-original Reggae band from
Danbury, Connecticut. Rich~i “Skank” Treadwell, Chris “Stickman”
