3rd Friday Reggae w/ Mykal Rose and Psydecar

For over 25 years, Michael Rose has been recording and performing his brand of militant, hardcore Jamaican music to the delight of reggae fans around the world. As a solo artist, with Black Uhuru, and back as a solo artist, the "Ruff" Rose has achieved great success throughout his career, even as different Jamaican musical styles have phased in and out of popularity.

Perhaps the highest profile recognition came in 1984, when Michael Rose and the other Black Uhuru members (Duckie Simpson, Puma Jones, Sly Dunbar, and Robbie Shakespeare) won reggae's first Grammy award for the album, Anthem. But the story doesn't begin with Black Uhuru. In 1976, Michael Rose was already a seasoned performer, having honed his skills by performing on Jamaica's hotel circuit. When an early incarnation of Black Uhuru (Ducky Simpson and Errol Nelson) approached Michael to join the group, he already had several solo singles to his credit. These include the original "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and "Clap the Barber," both recorded for producer Niney The Observer, and "Running Around" for Winston Campbell.

Psydecar is a San Diego-based reggae, soul, and groove band carrying forward more than three decades of original music. Founded by lead vocalist and drummer Tim Pacheco in 1996, the band performs today as a dual-fronted lineup with Pacheco and keyboardist Trevy James sharing vocal duties from behind their instruments. As one of the longest standing names in San Diego reggae, Psydecar brings a distinctive blend of musicianship, songwriting, and live performance to every stage.
