Less than 12 hours and I was back at the High Noon Saloon, this time to support the efforts by our local radio station – WORT 89.9 FM to raise funds for the Haiti relief effort. I couldn’t stick around for the entire show but was able to catch sets by local reggae-roots-rock band Roots Collective, Tani Diakate Malian Blues Band and Limanye. Thanks to True Endeavors for setting up the show and Jamerica for the tasty treats. Some pictures from the afternoon:
The Winter Dubtacular
January 24th, 2009 – 8pm
The Winter Dubtacular will transport you from the frigid Wisconsin tundra to a tropical paradise of sea and sun. Providing entertainment will be Chicago’s leading Dub crusaders THE DRASTICS. Assisting with the musical heatwave will be Madison’s ROOTS COLLECTIVE and THE TAKEBACKS. WORT’s Tropical Riddims host DJ FRP will be spinning throughout the night.
Don’t worry about quelling a grumbling stomach as Jamerica will be catering the event with fantastic Jamaican cuisine. For the drinking class we will also be featuring numerous umbrella topped tropical drink specials. And on the big screen, we’ll have your favorite beach movies (Weekend at Bernies, anyone?).
Entrance is $10, but if you show up in beachwear we’ll knock off $2.
Doors open and food is served at 8 p.m.
