Hamptons gig with Johnny Osbourne
Sunday morning it was straight out east to the Hamptons for my gig at Surf Lodge w/ none other than Dancehall Godfather, Johnny Osbourne.
My DJ set was well received but I'll admit it getting heavy compliments from Mike D (of the Beastie Boys) for playing his 'favorite joints' was big for me as Beasties were a huge influence on me growing up from like 4th grade on!
Fast forward a bit, Martei opened up with some fresh Lover's Rock chunes and then Johnny Osbourne & The Reggae Roadblock band took the stage and they KILTEDED it, for those unfamiliar with the lingo, Mr. Osbourne's vocal performance was impeccable, like fine wine, his voice seems to only get better with age.
Shouts to the Live-Well crew and the Surf Lodge for bringing real Reggae out east for the vacationers!
