Saturday September 12, 2015, (Supercrawl Saturday). Doors at 8 pm, show at 9 pm. Tickets $10 advance (Book tickets online) , $15 at door. Artword Artbar’s good friend Mr. Jay hosts a Supercrawl Special Edition reggae roots music night, with a return appearance of the wonderful Riddim Riders Unplugged!
Riddim Riders Unplugged, aka Acoustic Ride, are an extension of Hamilton’s premier reggae band Riddim Riders. Core members Franklin Joseph and Mike Rajczak are joined by vocalist Lauren Mikayla, lead guitar Keon Crosswell and Christopher Charles. The Riders break away from their usual reggae-rockers vibe with this configuration, featuring acoustic and classical guitars, djembe, conga and hand percussion, and a big focus on rich vocal harmonies. Although still touching on the reggae tip, the focus is on acoustic rock, r&b and soulful originals, showcasing the band’s diversity and unique sound potential.
Featured guest is dub-poet Klyde Broox, who will be backed by the Riddim Riders Unplugged.
