JAH
ROOTS |
|
|
 |
Venice Cafe: The opening act was Jah Roots. These
people are so unique when it comes to their style. The music is most
definitely reggae, although their influences are so interesting: add a
little bit of dancehall, lovers rock and jam band. Then, add a whole
bunch of roots rock and shake it just so. Then, maybe you could possibly
start to comprehend the phenomenon that is Jah Roots.
