FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SAN FRANCISCO, CA
THREE DAY REGGAE FESTIVAL IN FEBRUARY WITH WAILERS, SLY AND ROBBIE, ELEPHANT
MAN AND MANY MORE AT THE WARFIELD -- IN CELEBRATION OF BOB MARLEY1S
BIRTHDAY
Moss Jacobs Presents, in conjunction with Raggamuffins Productions and Clear
Channel, proudly present the 23rd Annual Bob Marley Day Festival at The
Warfield in San Francisco on February 20, 21 and 22. Each night, the doors
open at 7:00 p.m. and the music starts at 8:00 p.m. and tickets are only $30
per
night. Regarded as one of the premier reggae festivals in California each
year, this event features top international reggae artists with the best of
dancehall, roots, and vintage performers. The festival also celebrates
Black History Month in tribute to those before us and the legacy of Bob
Marley, one of the world's most influential music legends.
The line-up is as follows: On Friday, February 20 catch reggae-rhythm twins,
still going strong after 25 years, Sly & Robbie & the Taxi Connection
featuring Blufox, Rahman, Myrhdak & Mahlon Stewart. Also on the opening
night bill is reggae phenomenon Big Youth who is returning to the west coast
after a long hiatus, and opening the show is the Bay Area1s premier 11-piece
reggae orchestra - Soul Majestic featuring Rastan Campbell.
On Saturday, February 21, Elephant Man known as the 3Punk Rock of
Dancehall", will bring on a different flavor with his out-of-control and
highly entertaining show. And no Bob Marley festival would be complete
without one of Bob1s offspring; Julian Marley is a gifted artist in his own
right and has made a name for himself through his music. Pepper will open
the show on Saturday. Hailing from the Hawaiian islands, they gained a
reputation for explosive live performances with island reggae and edgy
guitar; Pepper will catch the attention of fans during this festival.
At the final show on Sunday, February 22, The Wailers, featuring Aston
3Familyman2 Barret will headline. Current day favorites, Midnite who have
taken the reggae scene by storm bring their raw and rootsy St. Croix sound
to San Francisco, and warming up the crowd, are local roots favorites,
Groundation. This line-up is subject to change.
