Re: ROTR 2014 Roll Call - Yesterday
Quoterandomguy2u I have been thinking we need to address this "what's my name?" michael rose thing. I am going to have a sign that says "It's Michael Rose"….so when he yells "what's my name?" I can just hold up the sign. Love it Great planby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Nice, Big Ship coming! And the nice price, that would be a $80 ticket in Santa Cruz. A show where the performer is the promoter, don't see that around here too much either.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Artists Looking Forward to at ROTR 2014 - 2 days ago
While Jah 9 was underwhelming in her appearance in the dance at SN I am looking forward to seeing her with a live band and a few more years experience. There's a lot of female artists going good right now and I would like to see more of them in CA. Also looking forward to Iba Mahr, Mega and Jimmy Cliff.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Quotebun n cheese I think Beenie Man has the breadth of material to put on a very entertaining reggae/dancehall show that would fit in the format of this fest. Totally agree but if Sizzla and Capelton CANT come then neither can Beenie man or Warrior King for that matter. HYPOCRITICAL and arbitrary biased enforcement.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: SNWMF review and slideshow by SIsta Irie 2014 - 18 days ago
Fantastic photos and a well written review. True true and true. Yellowman is full of wit and style though, at Sierra shaggy was full of ****. I think shaggy's performance could have been a lot better ( he's got a lot of tunes! I still think it could have been good and I might see a good shaggy show in the future) ,and I feel whether yard or abroad that performance would not be well recieved.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: SNWMF 2015 request - 18 days ago
Respect Ninja I saw Sean Paul that year and a couple other times . Maybe par for the course , but SP said something like I love rotr last time I was her I sexed so many gal , and that was about it. Some artists say stupid shite on stage in between tunes, shaggy's entire performance was full of how many girls are gonna get pregnant tonight references like it was a Schtick for him and him stickinby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: SNWMF 2015 request - 19 days ago
QuoteNinja why did Shaggy not do a Roots and Culture show for a bunch of people (not everyone obviously) who have no idea what the Roots and Culture actually means? IF Shaggy came on stage and started to chat down abortion and gays he would have been run out of town. So now... don't talk about Sexuality (an essential part of being human) don't talk about guns (who needs that) don't talk anythingby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: The Tamlins @ Zodiacs in Petaluma July 8th, FREE SHOW! - 20 days ago
Who made the booking at Don Quuxotes "Santa Cruz" show then, if their manager , didn't even know? Surely the band and Manager don't want to hear about disappointed fans outside a no-show show. Don Quixote has been around and is no fly by night demoter. So..... What really a gwaan?by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Don't miss Bitty Mclean! - 25 days ago
There are lots of folks that love every type of reggae from the earliest Alton Ellis and Rocksteady , studio one to the latest twins of twins , alkaline dancehall whatever. I agree it's a stylistic thing in that you can love the genre, sub genre but some artists style don't do it for you. So everyone's ear is always a little different in what they're favorites are. For me Josey Wales out stby SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Don't miss Bitty Mclean! - 25 days ago
Quotegbougard Check out his latest record called TAXI Sessions, heavy badness all around. On the topic of covers, who cares? He interprets those songs in such a way that they become his. Regarding cover songs, lots of people have an opinion. A common one being that 1 or 2 covers in a set is fine even great but it's not why you go, you go to hear original material from an artist .

Re: What happened Saturday? - 30 days ago
Nailed it irie 411. Also, Mykal rose has failed to wow in all the times I've seen him in Cali since his 10+ year absence. He's got a good voice, seeing him with sky and Robbie is niiiice . Where is the energy and fire that I had seen before the hiatus though. Totally agree about the who's your daddy BS.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: Don't miss Bitty Mclean! - 4 weeks ago
Hmmm alright, in checking the net it seems his biggest hits chart wise were fats domino or Shirelles covers. It seemed like I recognized 1/2 his tunes as covers which surprised me and prompted the question. Loved Bitty's voice and vibe . Sly and Robbie annual showcase mi say.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Re: Don't miss Bitty Mclean! - 4 weeks ago
Bitty McLean has a fantastic voice and put on a good show. Being unfamiliar with his tunes going in , I was underwhelmed by the amount of covers he sang and the few I thought were originals were for the ladies. Does he have a release of originals?by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Re: Shaggy rant - 4 weeks ago
I was optimistic shaggy would put on a good headlining set, highly appreciate hearing an artist that has dancehall tunes close the show on a Saturday night, don't mind slackness in the dance hall lyrics ( mighty crown played my favorite set in the dancehall in years). Thought he could have done a lot better.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014

Large up Boonville town that has made this a wonderful home , the locals who I think for the most part truly enjoy haveing the festival here. The grass on the valley stage Friday was lush and green and wonderfully kept , a small thoughtful thing that all adds up to make the best annual solstice celebration. Thanks to all volunteers and workers and behind the scenes peoples.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
Shaggy rant - 4 weeks ago
What disturbed you most about the Headliner thread .. Shaggy should be banned for life from SN for dukeing all over the place and making a donkey of himself, what a cartoon character. fling bokkle & tomato and next artist . Fake.Completely Out of tune with Sierra vibe in my opinion.by SCRoots - SNWMF Phorum 2014
