Aspen Times, Concert Mention >>
Yah, mon, ’tis dat time at Belly Up for reggae music. The latest run — mostly old-school Jamaican acts — starts smoking on Saturday, Sept. 13 with Eek-a-Mouse, the inventor of the distinctive patois singing style known as “singjaying.” Burning Spear, perhaps the most devout adherent to the teachings of rastafarian prophet Marcus Garvey, and as bright a musical light as ever at age 60, follows on Sept. 17. The Melodians, who date back to Jamaica’s rock-steady era of the early ’60s, return on Sept. 26. The group still features original members Tony Brevett and Trevor McNaughton; a third longtime member, Brent Dowe, died in 2006 after a rehearsal. The Itals, a trio that now includes Susan Porter, the daughter of original member Keith Porter, is set for Sept. 29. For reggae with an American accent, the Boulder-based, Jewish singer Jus Goodie opens for the Itals. And Massachusetts band John Brown’s Body returns with a gig on Oct. 11, with upstate New York’s Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad opening. 09/06/08 >> go there
