THREE DAY REGGAE FESTIVAL IN FEBRUARY WITH WAILERS, SLY AND ROBBIE, ELEPHANT
MAN AND MANY MORE AT THE WARFIELD --
IN CELEBRATION OF BOB MARLEY'S BIRTHDAY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAN FRANCISCO, CA - 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 w/ the Taxi Connection
featuring Blufox, Rahman, Ras 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 Area's premier 11-piece
reggae orchestra - Soul Majestic featuring Rastan Campbell.
On Saturday, February 21, Elephant Man known as the "Punk Rocker 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
Bob's 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.
At the final show on Sunday, February 22, The Wailers, featuring Aston
'Familyman' 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.
