“Have you had enough reggae lately? Are you tired of going to your favorite local music venue and finding a never ending flow of original reggae bands, performing day in and day out? Well, you probably aren’t, because — as you know — finding an original reggae group anywhere near Anderson is almost impossible. It’s even rarer to hear of an original reggae band that doesn’t just stick to the stock sounds of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. If you’re looking for an original reggae band, and you really don’t feel like taking a one-night trip to Jamaica, then you may want to check out Chalwa on Friday at Backstreets in Clemson. © 2007 Anderson Independent Mail.
