Big Youth: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Big Youth

Big Youth is an individual artist whose work traces a line from Jamaican-rooted reggae into rocksteady, dub, and ragga, with a rock/pop frame that travels well on New York stages. He appears at Sony Hall in connection with The 5th Annual LegalizedNYC Festival, a setting that puts classic rhythm-and-voice craft in a concert-room context. Past bills with Ras Shiloh, Cannabis Cup Band, and Massive B place him within a working network of live reggae specialists. His performances favor direct lyrical delivery over studio polish.
