April 5 – Boss Harmony

Boss Harmony selects at a number of nights throughout Los Angeles, including the Bamboo Lounge, Dr. Who, Dub Club, and Punky Reggae Party. An eclectic collector, his tastes range from Latin beats to punk rock to the ultra obscure. However, his heart belongs to Jamaican music and he is an avid collector of ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Come out to hear what he selects from his box of musical gems!

April 12 – 3 Year Anniversary Dance Party

The Rocksteady Lounge, started by TerryLee and Rocksteady Chris, has been going strong for three years! Viktor and I are honored to bring vintage Jamaican music to the people of Los Angeles (and beyond!) every Monday night at Akbar. Let’s celebrate three years of great music and fantastic guests right! Guest DJs include Rocksteady Chris, Boss Harmony, Two Tone Ted, and Bigger Boss! We’ll have the dance floor area set-up in the back, along with additional speakers. Let’s hope for more years to come.

His improvisations sounded fantastic. He’s playing Saturday, January 16th at On the Rox (Roxy, Sunset Strip), and with Willi Williams this Wednesday, Jan 13 at the Dub Club (held at the Echo). We’ll post photos and some short video clips soon!

The rest of the month’s line-up is all set…we hope to see you at Akbar!
