    About This Event

    San Jose reggae-rock group The Holdup plays Mercury Lounge with Cydeways and Dylan Reese, a bill that blends reggae, hip-hop and pop into groove-led sets. Cydeways' reggae-leaning rock and Dylan Reese's band-forward, hook-driven approach converge with The Holdup's steady grooves, and in the small club setting the rhythm section and vocal phrasing are put in the foreground.
