Natty Nation's Bob Marley Birthday Celebration at High Noon Saloon
At least one Bob Marley birthday celebration in town this week actually falls on Bob Marley's birthday, appropriately headlined by longtime local reggae standouts Natty Nation. The High Noon's show also has support from at least one "sound system" (basically a crew of DJs) in the Jamaican mode, Tropical Riddims Sound System, featuring the host of WORT's Tropical Riddims reggae show. In between the lineup gets an interesting twist courtesy of Heatbox, a Minneapolis project that roots its funk and laid-back vocalizations in some nifty beatboxing, and tropically slanted South Carolina singer-songwriter Zach Deputy. Mt. Zion Soundsystem fills in more straightforward reggae, boasting members from Milwaukee, Senegal, and Jamaica.
