SUMMARY:Reggae Beach Bash at SurfSide ft. Mystic Bowie’s Talking Dreads
DESCRIPTION:Performing on the SurfSide Deck\n\nSunday\,  September 1 | 6PM\n\nDoors Open at 6PM\n\nHosted by DJ Green Lion Crew \n\nGeneral Admission/Standing Room Only\n\nAdvanced Tickets Online    $20.\n\nDay of Show   $25.\n\nThis event is for 21+ ONLY\n\nNO BACKPACKS | NO RE-ENTRY\n\nAbout Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn "Life During Wartime\," the first single from Talking Heads' 1979 album Fear of Music\, David Byrne famously sang the immortal lyrics\, "This ain't no party\, this ain't no disco no time for dancing " Yet all those anti-fun declarations go gleefully out the window when Mystic Bowie\, aka the "Head Dread\," takes the stage\, re-imagining and infusing fresh life into TH's classic catalog with his high octane mix of roots reggae\, ska and lover's rock (aka "romantic reggae").\n\nSince debuting his musically revolutionary Talking Dreads project live at the High Times Music Festival on the beach in Negril in late 2015\, the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and performer has electrified audiences at over 100 shows across North America   spinning the heads of initially skeptical Talking Heads fans\, and getting everyone else grooving along to the infectious\, joyous rhythms and jubilant spirit of his native island. Considering the success of these events\, it was only a matter of time before Bowie   who has lived in the Northeastern U.S. for many years   headed back to his cherished homeland and set up shop at the famed Barry O'Hare Studios in Ocho Rios. He gathered old friends he had played music with since childhood\, along with younger musicians\, legendary Jamaican artists and other surprise guests to capture all the magic of his live performances on the epic\, 13 track recording Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads.\n\n"Talking Dreads is much more than a cover band\," Mystic says. "I am very much drawing on my own musical culture and history to make these amazing songs my own\, while at the same time preserving the integrity of the Talking Heads songs. I've always felt that reggae's dance-inspiring\, feel good vibe is universal\, as are many of the band's songs. And don't forget their intelligent\, powerful lyrics\, which are fun to sing and shine fresh light on through this new fusion of styles. It took a lot of effort to deconstruct and dissect each song to make it work seamlessly with my singing and performance style. I removed all the instrumentation\, kept the story and words\, then created my own reggae\, Caribbean and tribal feel and married those two elements   then brought back a few of the melodies that captured my attention back in the day."\n\nREAD MORE\n\nImportant Event Info: \n\n6:00 PM Doors Open with DJ Green Lion\n\n7-7:45 Opener:\n\n8-9:30 PM Headliner: Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads\n\n9:30-10PM DJ Green Lion\n\n*Rain Location- Blue Ocean Music Hall
