On November 1st, Day of the Dead brings the rhythm of reggae to the Date Shed with Fortunate Youth, The Expanders and Big Mountain. “Fortunate Youth is a collaboration of South Bay reggae stand-outs. Rising from various bands, they’ve created a phenomenal 6-piece masterpiece bringing more fire to the stage than ever before. Combining rootsy vibes and unique bass lines united with multiple harmonies, boisterous guitar solos, and heavy keys separates Fortunate Youth from every other mainstream reggae band.” (www.fortunatemusic.com) Their 2013 release “It’s All a Jam” made the #1 position on Billboard Raggae Charts and earned positions on numerous other charts.
The tempo gets a little speedier on November 7th with California-born pop-punk band Lagwagon. Earning the reputation as one of the most influential punk bands of the 90’s, the guys in Lagwagon were pioneers in creating the now-famous “Fat Wreck sound.”
Award-winning Tribal Seeds will perform at the Date Shed on November 22nd. The band has become known for their spiritually driven, refreshing rock vibe they have infused with the roots style of reggae music. Originally started by two brothers, Steven Rene Jacobo (lyrics, vocals, guitar) and Tony-Ray Jacobo (producer, keyboards, vocals). Tribal Seeds now boats six members, including: Carlos Verdugo (drums), Victor Navarro (bass), E.N Young (keyboards, vocals) & Ryan Gonzo (guitar, vocals). (www.tribalseeds.net.)
Dubbed as the “forefather of indie-hop,” Sage Francis will entertain and inspire the audience with his lyrics and unique brand of music. Francis originally earned acclaim in the early 2000′s by winning the most highly coveted titles of the emcee battle circuit. He is widely considered one of our generation’s greatest lyricists. Francis’ latest album, “Copper Gone,” was released in June 2014. It broke Billboard’s Top 200 and iTunes top 5 for hip-hop in the US and UK. (www.strangefamousrecords.com)
