Victoria's foremost purveyor of smooth grooves, BOUSADA, returns to Victoria Ska & Reggae Fest! Festival veteran, he's played our Rocksteady Collective Exhibition Showcase and appeared on the Inner Harbour stage with Illvis Freshly. He returns to our stage this year with something wholly different and exciting...the good homie will be backed by a 4-piece band. Expanding on the already communal vibe of his music, this new setup is going to get the floor bouncing more than ever.
With BOUSADA to help kick off the first night of Vic Ska & Reggae Fest XIX will be powerful YELLOWSKY. Making his debut on the Festival stage last year, opening for Mike Love at Capital Ballroom, Yellowsky made quite an impact on everyone who caught his heavy-hitting reggae-rap. The last year has seen big things for Yellowsky, including the recent release of his debut album “Mixed Medicine,” perhaps the most powerful combination of hip-hop and reggae this side of Jamrock. This show is going to be a 1-2 punch of power and groove. The perfect way to start the festival and power up for the days ahead.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
