10-band Reggae fest comes to area
By Cristtna Haworth
The fourth annual Reggae
Sunsplash is coming to town on
September 26. It will be held at the
Jaycee Fairgrounds in Jamestown,
NC.
Tickets are ten dollars and the
gates will be opening at 12:00 p.m.
to the public. Tickets purchased at
the door will be fifteen dollars and
children under twelve will be ad
mitted free with an adult.
Ten international and national
Reggae bands are scheduled to
perform. Roots Rockin' Produc
tions is sponsoring the Sunsplash
with James C. Hinson and Gary
Collins as the co-promoters.
"Last year's Sunsplash pulled a
crowd of 1,600, but this year we
hope to have a crowd near 5,000,"
said Hinson.
This year's leading band is called
"Culture." It is a trio with lead
singer Joseph Hill and back-up
singers Albert Walker and Ken
neth Dayes. "Culture" is renowned
for their great ability to harmonize.
Their most known album is, "Two
Sevens Clash."
Other performers will be;
"Awareness Art Ensemble." "Ma
jestic Lions," "Judge Not,"
"Imani," "Annette Brisett," "Dub
Mystic," "Jah Spirit," "Plutopia,"
and 'Truth and Rights," all of
whom are known to get their
crowds rocking.
When asked about the origin of
the Sunsplash, Hinson said, "We
wanted to do something that would
unite the public. Reggae is spiri
tual music that frees people of bar
riers. The Reggae Sunsplash origi
nated in Jamaica and later spread
across the U.S. We've been doing
it here in Jamestown, NC since
1988. Hopefully the tradition will
keep on going for quite a long
time."
Not only will there be music, but
the sponsors are expecting roughly
100 vendors to be on duty selling
jewelry, arts and crafts, incense
and other such things. Food will
also be sold. Concession stands
will provide such things as curried
chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls.
Along with the music, food, and
vendors, there will be door prizes
being raffled off. The grand prize
will be a three-day trip for two to
the Bahamas.
The events will be occurring
throughout the day and will be
coming to a close at midnight.
Hinson. said, "Working on . the
production, 9f this event, i$ always
an amazing experience We are
expecting a great show I don't
think the crowd will be able to
leave without being moved by the
spirit of the music."
