Hasidic Reggae in Jacksonville

Dreadlocks and Payes,
From Marley to Matisyahu,
The Beat Goes On
Elliot Rothpearl

Several weeks ago, my brother sent me a video clip of a Hasidic Reggae performer called Matisyahu. It really caught my attention and the next day I was describing it to a musician friend of mine. I could not recall the name, but just then, my friend pulled out a poster of Matisyahu and asked me, “Is this the guy?” I said, “That’s him, where did you get the poster?” He said, “I’m doing the sound for him Saturday night at the J.C.A. right here in Jacksonville.”
