Reggae On The Rocks – August 25th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 9 min read

This year was the 25th Anniversary of Reggae on the Rocks, and the enthusiastic crowd was a mass of colors, smoke and smiles. There aren’t many opportunities for Reggae fans to gather here in Colorado, but man, did they come out of the woodwork for this one! Jamaican colors were worn by those not from Jamaica, and brightly colored shirts, knit caps and guerilla bush fighter fatigues worn by those who were. Reggae is revolutionary music, a music that talks of pain as well as joy, a music that is also a form of prayer. Reggae is spiritual music.

Jimmy Cliff – June 19th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Denver Reggae faithful turned up in force to catch Jimmy Cliff at The Ogden last week. It wasn’t sold-out, and there was room to move around, but the room was full and the energy was high . . . really high. It was great to see all these folks out on a Tuesday night and the variety in the crowd made for a great vibe. One thing was for sure, those that came out to catch Cliff were into his music and his performance made us all feel like we were on the beach, or at least near it, while it made us feel a little better about life.

Trevor Hall & Cas Haley – October 27th – The Ogden

Estimated read time 6 min read

Last Thursday was Reggae night at The Ogden and it featured Cas Haley and Trevor Hall. These are guys putting their all into music and bringing Reggae to a crowd that wouldn’t typically listen to it. Trevor’s Reggae is radio friendly and strewn with pop; not really roots Reggae, but Reggae that appeals to kids who have no idea who Jimmy Cliff is. That said, the music was full of energy and they had the whole place jumping all night.
