Come celebrate ONE YEAR of Myrtle! We’re partying all day/night with performances by Jah Riffe, Dan Blakeslee, and Ryan Lee Crosby, records by Greenwood Hi-Fi, food by Rebel Rations, and plenty of giveaways and treats!
Jah Riffe, a first-generation Jamaican, is a dynamic performer, both as a solo artist and as the lead singer of the Jah-N-I Roots band. His eclectic background and lifestyle inspire the unique sound he calls World Roots Reggae. His shows are like musical divinations, leaving audiences feeling free, rejuvenated, and touched on a deep, healing level. JahRiffe’s goal is for you to carry those uplifting feelings with you long after the music ends.
With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. He has been making music and art throughout New England ever since, leading him to tour the U.S. performing with Langhorne Slim, The Low Anthem, David Wax Museum, Lydia Loveless, The Lumineers, Old 97′s, Brown Bird, Josh Ritter, Death Vessel and Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. @danblakesleemusic
Ryan Lee Crosby “Of all the world’s musical traditions, the one that speaks to me most directly is the Bentonia style of Delta blues,” Crosby relates. “Something I love about the blues is its timeless ability to express the entire range of the human experience: it’s brightest joys, deepest sorrows and everything in between. By listening to the blues, we can learn how to have compassion for ourselves and others. Its lessons are endless.”
Greenwood Hifi spins all vinyl, showcasing a mix of psych, pop, and shoegaze.
