FRIDAY MARCH 30, 2012 at Engineered Air Theatre:

J.k & THE RELAYS * GHOSTKEEPER * THE SOULICITORS

 

J.k & The Relays: 'Ska and reggae a’la English Beat and The Specials recharge your batteries. Front man Jory Kinjo brings it with his sophisticated vocals backed with slick harmonies. Happy vibes prevail with this high octane group.'

Ghostkeeper: 'Get set for sexy vocals and sick riffs from this edgy duo. Raw and bluesy pop comes to you straight from the heart, delivered by the children of the great northern muskeg. These confident, yet eccentric crooners redefine the word “swagger” and thrive on live performance.'

The Soulicitors: 'Sunny reggae beats warm the chill of March and break the ice as you move to the hot rhythms with a room full of strangers. This old school/new school mash up is upbeat, uplifting and never fails to fill a dance floor with infectious, urban and soul stylings.'
