(VIDEO) Jah Hath Blessed Us All With a Reggae on the River Live Stream
Maybe you have a job in Babylon? Perhaps you have reggae-inhibiting bills to pay? Can people be allergic to patchouli? Whatever the reason, if you are reading this, than you are not at Reggae on the River (or if you are, you are bad at having fun. Stop reading this).
Fear not! Those who would like at least the online equivalent of the irie vibes being enjoyed down at French’s Camp can at least click themselves some joy. Yes, Jah (and the Mateel Community Center) hath blessed us with a Reggae on the River Live Stream. See below.
Haters of reggae can go ahead and scroll right past that for Friday’s Lowdown listings. —Andrew Goff
