Matisyahu

Matisyahu known for his uncanny, electrifying fusion of orthodox Judaism and classic reggae music has unveiled plans to expand his Second Annual Festival of Light show in New York City this December to include dates in 2 boroughs; Manhattan and Brooklyn. The Festival of Light will begin on December 4, the first night of Chanukah at Roseland Ballroom and conclude on December 8 at Warsaw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Matisyahu has successfully made reggae and hip-hop sounds an integral part of his day-to-day soundtrack. Still he simply seeks to serve as a conduit for the messages of peace and unity that flow through him, to improve the world the world by sharing his music, and without letting ego or worldly desires interfere in that communication. “That’s what I’m aiming for,” he admits. “I don’t think I’ve fully gotten there, but that’s the goal.”

Matisyahu invites fans to join him in celebrating his music and message for the holiday season, with four very special nights of the festival to span from Manhattan to Brooklyn.

Special guests, Tim Reynolds and Blues Traveler will join Matisyahu, to ignite the festivities at Roseland Ballroom on December 4. December 5, proves to be another great night with reggae legends, The Wailers and Dub Trio.

Matisyahu and his band will travel across the bridge to share the Festival of Light in Greenpoint Brooklyn, at Warsaw, where popular singer songwriters Ryan Shaw and Trevor Hall will join him on December 6.

To close the festival on Saturday, December 8, indie rock band Zox and reggae’s new superstar Joseph Israel on December 8, will join him for two final nights during the Festival of Lights.
