Reggae party at Beach House Restaurant tomorrow

Take a break from those winter blues with some upbeat roots reggae tomorrow at the Beach House in North Falmouth. The reggae party, free of cover charge, starts at 2 pm and will go until 8 pm. Red Stripe beer, Appleton Rum, jerk chicken and Jamaican goodies will be served, as well as the regular menu items. Jamaican entertainment will be provided by One Drop Sound System, who will certainly be playing the reggae beats of legends like Bob Marley, Joseph Hill Culture, Lucky Dube, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear and many others.

Mary Starr of Hatchville has been working on grass roots promotional “street team” for the reggae legend, Burning Spear since 2006. Starr said, “Basically [Burning Spear] was screwed by the music industry and went on to start his own record label. He asked any fans who were interested in helping to work on small events to share his music.” Burning Spear and his wife, Sonia, provide the street teams with free give away items to introduce and promote the music.

Starr will begin the Burning Spear give aways at 4 pm. Items include posters, t-shirts, CDs, and gift certificates, including $100 to the Dead Zone in Yarmouth. So get there early to get the goods! Also, free raffle tickets will be given at the door.
