Can’t afford to go to the Caribbean this winter? The Music Hall has the perfect solution! It’s Caribbean Night @ The Music Hall with The Wailers Wednesday February 3, 2010 at 7:30pm. The greatest living exponents of Jamaica’s reggae tradition, The Wailers are the latest installment in the Music Hall’s popular Intimately Yours concert series. The evening starts off in the Founders Lobby at 7pm with appetizers provided by Blue Mermaid Island Grill, and signature cocktails. Then, it’s upstairs for a hot concert!

The Intimately Yours series, sponsored by 92.5 The River, has been hailed as a “crowd-pleaser” by The Portsmouth Herald: “bring(s) the brightest and best the music industry has to offer to…one of the best venues in the Northeast.  To date, they’ve brought in artists that were on the cusp of blowing up (Ray LaMontagne, Brandi Carlile) to seasoned veterans that you’re hard pressed to find playing a venue as small as The Music Hall (The Neville Brothers, Bruce Hornsby, Rufus Wainwright, etc.)…a series that continues to bring compelling offerings to Seacoast music fans.”

According to Therese LaGamma, Music Hall Programming Manager and Curatorial Associate, “The Wailers are one of the great reggae institutions. There is an authenticity to these guys that has been exciting audiences since they began performing alongside Bob Marley in the late ‘60s. On a cold New England night, where else would you rather be but at Caribbean Night @ The Music Hall?!”
