Natty Nation's Bob Marley Birthday Celebration
Zach Deputy
Heatbox
Mt. Zion Sound System
Tropical Riddims Sound System
8:30 PM / $10 cover / $7 advance / 18 and up / Tickets will be available at the door night of show.
TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR TONIGHT.
Come celebrate Bob Marley's immense contribution to music on the anniversary of his birthday, with local favorites Natty Nation. Natty Nation is a unique blend of 100% independent Roots, Rock, Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, and more. Their music espouses positive messages, and their unique indigenous Wisconsin reggae beats throb through the heartland.
There is nothing out there like Zach Deputy. Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops, and one hell of a charismatic presence. Put simply, Zach Deputy does what is called live looping: layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. He isn’t the only performer out there doing this, but he has taken the technique to the next level. First and foremost, however, Zach Deputy is a songwriter, a shredding guitarist and a soulful singer with a 4+ octave vocal range. He can also drop freestyle rhymes with the best of them. Truly a one man dance party.
Creating beats and building songs from the ground up, Heatbox, band/producer/turntablist, utilizes a voice modulator (sparingly) and a Boss LoopStation RC-50 to generate more sound than some full bands.
Founded by singer-songwriter/guitar player Saskia Pretorius, Mt. Zion Soundsystem is a reggae band with the heartfelt mission of spreading wisdom, love, and healing.
Tropical Riddims Sound System which features DJs -F.R.P.-, J.A.M. and Ras Ztlan, is "livicated" to reggae music which is loved by kindred spirits world wide. Varies from mento, to blue beat, to ska, to rock steady, to roots, to rockers, to steppers, to dub, to the most recent conscious dancehall.
