Save the dates, May 10th, June 7th, July 6th, Aug 16th, Sept 27th and Oct. 25th!!
Ya know we gonna have The Green Rose Sound crew back again too!
Still vibing from the @channelonesoundsystem show the other night! The energy was special and awakened all the feels. 🙌🏼
I finally caught up on some sleep and am ready to share some words:
First off I want to thank the Legend Mikey Dread and Ras Sherby for their openness to stop through Pittsburgh and give us a chance to be a part of the amazing energy that they bring to the world through their word, sound and power. There was never a promise that we would have a large crowd or even a proper hand-built sound system, but they still were gracious enough to come through and bring the same energy that they bring to a proper sound system festival. We truly were blessed with their presence and I am honored that they trusted in me to provide a great experience for them and the attendees. Mikey Dread's selections are unmatched and Ras Sherby was fire on the mic!! Next time I bring ya back we will do it full sound system style!
Next I want to thank Q from @dubstuy for making this happen. He had the faith in me to put on a good show and take care and give the proper respect to Mikey Dread and Ras Sherby that they have earned, for that I am forever grateful. Looking forward to meeting in person soon. 👊🏼
Many thanks to all that helped with the show. Big ups to Todd Keebs for the gear and photos/videos. Big up to Kev reason for the last minute help and big up to Ryan B who brought the patties down. Respect and thanks to Sista INandi for the delicious food as always.
Of course Big up to Frankie G for helping operate Roots Sessions and being one of the best selectors with amazing taste and technical ability to match.
Much love to Get Hip Records for trusting us to throw a nice event in their space. I think it turned out great and was a nice setting for an all vinyl music evening with one of the original Roots Reggae vinyl selectors in the UK, Mikey Dread. I look forward to working together again soon!
Big up to all sound system crews in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Tons of records but don't use the bathroom here or you'll wanna leave. Haha.
Been taking a little break after a very busy and successful spring, summer and fall, for Roots Sessions and all of the local bands and selectors/deejays in Pittsburgh. I think this year may have topped the charts for most reggae events in Pittsburgh. We couldn't have done it without all of the support from everyone, especially the patrons and our loved ones who provide support and help behind the scenes.
Big thanks to all of the local and national artists that we hosted this year. Super big thanks to @subsanctuary for bringing that nice sound system to @10.7marina for every session.
Speaking of @10.7marina, we can't thank Ray and Kelly Jane enough for allowing us to host our events at your beautiful space for our second year.
