We simply cannot wait for this FREE show this Friday sponsored by BRIC, the Brooklyn organization responsible for the long running series of free concerts held at the Prospect Park bandshell among other locations.
Event Details:
Steel Pulse
Natural Expression Rhythm Band
Friday, July 1 / 7:30pm / gates 6:30pm
The mighty STEEL PULSE, “perhaps the last great old-school reggae band left,” (NPR) came storming out of Burmingham, UK in the late ’70s and have never let up, delivering their Rastafarian protest reggae with relentless fire now for three-plus decades. NATURAL EXPRESSION RHYTHM BAND, a sprawling local pan-Caribbean collective, hammers out a joyful noise on everything from cowbells to old car parts.
We are huge huge fans of Steel Pulse and had the benefit of going to see them on the waterfront for the first time a couple of years ago. It was a truly amazing time. This is truly a rare treat. These guys sound just perfect. Personally, we cannot imagine a more relaxing time on a Friday night to unwind than this. See you in the front row!
