September 16, 20205 yr I searched around and was pretty stunned to see no Reggae Thread so I figured I might as well start one. I'm currently listening to my Reggae mix on my phone. Post your favorites. This is what is on at the moment.

September 16, 20205 yr Author Sure. I used to see the Killer Bees at Oyster Bake every year. I also may or may not have smoked a joint with them on stage at Irie's on Fredricksburg Road back in the day.

September 18, 20205 yr Anyone listen to Jamaican Gold on 91.7 KOOP? It's been on every Sunday from noon to 2 pm for 20-ish years. The show is an Austin treasure, imo.

January 15, 20223 yr Author I hadn't heard this one in years and it came up on youtube the other day. What a great song!
July 9, 20232 yr In 2010, I drove to Austin from Dallas to see Stick Figure at an outdoor bar venue; there were probably 20 people at the show. I got a very low quality recording of him doing a cover of pink floyd’s wish you were here. Saw him at the factory in dallas last may. 1000+ people there.
July 10, 20232 yr Saw Stick last weekend in St Pete with Pepper and the Elovators. Always a great show, will be seeing them at Closer to the Sun in Mexico in December as well.
July 14, 20232 yr I got really into reggae for a bit when I got to UT. I didn't get dreads or bathe in patchouli or anything, but I did like the music. I'd recommend this compilation as a great jumping off point for the arc of history (and good listening). It's pretty much straight fire.
