Roots Rock Reggae



The reggae scene in Hampton Roads has waxed and waned over my 14 or so years here. But there are always at least a few local bands keeping the sound of Jamaica alive. I was happy this week to learn more about Session Rockers, a reggae band that includes Biggs, the guitarist from Seed Is ... These guys are serious about their roots sound as you'll hear from the songs on the band's MySpace page. Biggs tells me the band is working on a full album. In the meantime, look for them at a club near you. They're set to play JM Randalls in Williamsburg this Saturday (opening for Seed Is ...) and HK on the Bay at Chicks Beach on June 12.
