The Kentucky Reggae Festival returns to its traditional space and time, specifically, Memorial Day weekend at the Water Tower. This year, the lineup was very late in being announced; with that late start and the reality of Abbey Road On The River happening at the same time, the event might not be as successful as in the past. Nevertheless, reggae fans from around the region still manage to find out about it and show up. Festival admission is $8 before 6:00 p.m. and $11 afterward. Admission is free for children 10 and under.
Copa Di Vino Wines has been added as a sponsor, so your choice of beverages has expanded. The food and vendor booths will feature Jamaican/Caribbean-themed food and arts.

Bob Marley is long gone but The Wailers continue with that sweet reggae sound. They’ve been here before and have something of a fan base. There is another band called the Original Wailers, with two members from the original group, but this isn’t that group. Head on down to the Diamond Pub on Barrett, May 23 for an evening of the genuine Jamaican sound, if not that other export. That you have to arrange on your own. Tickets are $20.
Check out this bit of concert footage:

Jim James is still busy touring behind his solo project, but that doesn’t mean planning for the next MMJ record is on hold. Speaking to Rolling Stone, James said the band is “in the process of nailing down a studio.” He went to say that he’s currently unsure of the musical direction of the forthcoming record, adding: “I don’t know if anything’s come together yet. I’ve got a lot of starting places, I guess you could say.”
The last MMJ record was released in 2011.
