SHOW 9:00PM._TICKET PRICE: _$12.00 ADV  – $15.00 DAY OF SHOW_ DOOR TIME: 8_:00 PM_ SHOW TYPE: Talking Dreads began as a project born from the audacious notion that hardcore Heads-lovers wouldn’t mind a tinkering or two with their favorite Talking Heads tunes, and there is a lot of great music here that will make you stop, listen and smile a little bit more as you’re grooving along to the joyous rhythms and jubilant spirit of the island vibe. Talking Dreads is the brainchild of Head Dread, Mystic Bowie, a Jamaican artist whose long and close relationship with Chris Franz and Tina Weymouth, founding members of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, began when he joined the latter group as a singer in 1996. He then recorded and performed with Tom Tom Club for nearly twenty years and continues to bear fruit from their unending collaborations. This inaugural effort from TALKING DREADS FEATURES AN AMAZING LINEUP OF STELLAR REGGAE STALWARTS INCLUDING FREDDIE MCGREGOR [‘_Rastaman Camp_’, Bobby Babylon], ska-guitar master Ernest Ranglin (session player and arranger of Millie’s smash ‘_My Boy Lollipop_’, the Melodians ‘_Rivers Of Babylon_’, and countless other tracks], and Tarrus Reilly (’_Start Anew’_, ‘_Good Girl Gone Bad_’) as well as a little help from punk-pop diva Cindy Wilson of The B-52s (‘_Rock Lobster_’, ‘_Love Shack_’).
