As a unit they’re almost at the 5-decade mark! Currently touring the US (Cali this weekend!),this band- and especially their leader- is simply electrifying and above ‘legendary’. Credited with giving the genre it’s name, ‘Reggae’, we are delighted to recognize the prolific, remarkable work and warm, FUN personality of Frederick “Toots” Hibbert and his band. We’ll highlight the music, the magnificent range this great group covers with joy, in fine Jamaican-style, taking the music to heights, hearts and ears all over. Share a special first airing of a recent performance at the renowned Stephen Talkhouse, LI, NY. Plus- for one special hour, for the first time ever: “Toots” is gonna takeover The Joint !! 10:00am Saturday; “Toots” takeover rebroadcast on Sunday 1-2:00pm and 11 to 12:00pm.
