Keene, NH - Colonial

by Micah 'Prof.' Robinson

It never ceases to amaze me that some of the most remote locations in this country have thriving, die-hard reggae communities…members of which simply can't wait to see the Spear when he brings his Burning Band into town. But, a closer look makes it plain that Burning Spear has spread the seeds of this message and music and the winds have blown them far and wide. It's times like this, that people all over the country reap the harvest. Harvest season this year is coming to a close and no one wants to be left out.

Did I say something about 'remote locations'? Once we're inside the venue, it seems like a place one would find in New York or San Francisco. There's really nothing small town about it. They obviously know something that I don't. The place is packed and the crowd is more than ready.

So is Burning Spear! Mek we dweet!
