Summer began with the launch of the first ever tour
of Canada for roots reggae group Taj Weekes and Adowa. The band
brought their soul-stirring performance to the Toronto Beer Festival in June,
introducing the crowd to a medley of songs from their internationally acclaimed
catalog of music.
West coast Canadian audiences will now have the
opportunity to experience music which has been described as "the most
appealing and rewarding manifestation of reggae now being created." Their
performances have been hailed as presenting classic, rootsy, and tempos
with beautifully enchanting vocals delivering socially conscious,
thought-provoking lyrics.
The band will begin their west coast tour of Canada
with the Roots & Blues Festival in Salmon Arm, British Columbia
(August 17-19), where Taj will perform and conduct an artist's workshop.
They will also appear at venues including the The Layback
Lounge in Harrison Hot Springs (August 20), The Media
Club in Vancouver (August 22), Hermann's Jazz Club and the Waverly
Hotel in Victoria (August 23-24), and The Tofino
Legion in Tofino (August 25).
