Show Preview: Jimmy Cliff – at The Santa Monica Pier – Santa Monica, CA – September 12, 2013

What a year it has been for the world of Reggae music, Saturday September 12th will merely add to that boast. Twilight Concert series, in its glorious summer tradition, is now in its 29th year. This installment will showcase the legendary and timeless Jimmy cliff on the beautiful and serene backdrop of the Santa Monica Pier. 

 

The now 64 years young Jimmy Cliff has been adored and praised for generations, and rightly so. Coming off the Grammy award winning album “Rebirth”, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is in prime shape to tear the boardwalk down. Fans can expect gems spanning nearly six decades and endless dancing and all at the price of FREE!

Locals will no doubt notice a few familiar faces, as East Los very own Ska/Rocksteady sensation and SteadyBeat recording artists "The Delirians" will be providing the heavy dancing beat. No strangers to the big stage, The Delirians have done nothing but drop jaws and perk up ears since stomping their place amongst the top of Los Angeles’s thriving and very talented Reggae scene. They have earned the respect of iconic Jamaican artists and fans everywhere.

Early arrival is more than a suggestion, its damn near criminal if taken lightly. Things get under way at 7pm, so Reggae fans shine ya boots! We'll see you at the waterfront.
