Echoes of Kingston Tour Hits Cali with Queen P, The Delirians, The Forthrights, and Maddie Ruthless!
I can tell you right now that there are a lot of jealous ska fans (myself included) beyond reasonable driving distance of Southern California and/or the Bay Area. Why, you ask? Because we're missing out on a brilliant ska/rocksteady/early reggae tour! Jason Lawless (Lawless Street blog, Reggae 69 Fan Club, Jamrec Entertainment) has put together a superb tour package--Echoes of Kingston--that features Queen P (of Ocean 11), The Delirians, The Forthrights, and Maddie Ruthless--and includes Let's Go Bowling's 25th anniversary show! If you are anywhere near the gigs listed below, make it a point to get off yer duff and see these amazing bands in action. Support live ska and reggae music (and buy their releases and merch while you're there)!
Featured Echoes of Kingston Artists:
Persephone Laird AKA Queen P needs no introduction to most fans of ska and reggae from Los Angeles. Having begin with the masters of the sound Ocean 11 and never looking back, Queen P personifies the likes of her musical godmothers including Marcia Griffiths and Phyllis Dillon. She will be singing hits from the Treasure Isle song book, backed by The Delirians on select dates of the tour.
The Delirians are the newest young cubs to burst out of the East Los Angeles music scene. Raised on the toughest streets of Los Angeles the band have found protection in the form of music from JA to UK. They strive to thrive in a musical landscape forgotten by time. Ready to roar like lions these cats lay down the wicked sounds inspired by the likes of The Skatalites, The Hippy Boys and The Pioneers all rolled into one.
The Forthrights are a four-piece group from Brooklyn, NY. Featuring former members of The Pinstripes and The Fad, they take a fresh take on the sound of traditional rocksteady and ska. In a few short years they have solidified their place in the New York reggae scene and have collaborated with Vic Ruggerio (The Slackers), Chris Murray, Mr. T-Bone and King Django.
Maddie Ruthless is a 22 year-old musician/DJ from New Orleans Louisiana making art that provides clear connections between New Orleans and Caribbean culture, specifically Jamaica. She will be performing her hitsound of tunes backed by The Forthrights on the tour.
