Thursday Lowdown: Reggae is Here

Look out, SoHum. They’re coming.

Early ticket holders for Reggae on the River will begin descending in droves upon French’s Camp Thursday for the beginning of this year’s festival. First day headliners include Gaudi (pictured), as well as Jahden Blakkamoore, Winstrong and more. If you slacked and have not secured tickets to Reggae yet, first, thank you for perpetuating stereotypes, and second you can still snag all-weekend and/or single-day passes at the ROTR website

A little closer to HumCo’s population hubs are a pair of spoken word-ish events. First, local raconteur Jeff DeMark leads a cadre of storytellers for a makeshift variety show inside Dell’Arte‘s Big Hammer Tent titled Acting on a Dream: Summer Stories, Songs and Wild Left Turns. Elsewhere, Jambalaya hosts nationally syndicated progressive talk radio host and occasional standup Karel who promises a “non-stop assault on the senses.” Guard your senses, kids.

Lots more Thursday-ness in your Lowdown listings below.
