About this Event
For 34 years, NYC’s the Slackers have toured the world with their critically acclaimed – and widely beloved – blend of ska, reggae, and soul.
The Slackers have been called “the sound of New York” by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a “clean mix of ska, reggae, and soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.” Decades into their run, The Washington Post noted that the Slackers “remain at the top of their game.”
Warming the stage is Calgary's own Jory Kinjo & the Relays, bringing their own brand of soul, ska and reggae to their set. Kinjo has shared bills with legends sucah as B.B. King, Ziggy Marley, the Wailers, Buddy Guy, Fishbone, the English Beat. Kinjo regularly works with such musicians as the Slackers own Vic Ruggiero, David Hillyard and Fishbone's, Angelo Moore.
