JOHN BROWN'S BODY AND TOUBAB KREWE ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINE U.S. TOUR
 John Brown's Body |
On March 11, progressive reggae band John Brown's Body and West African-influenced quintet Toubab Krewe kick off a 13-city co-headlining U.S. tour. The tour begins in Brooklyn, NY, and ends in Solana Beach, CA.
Each group has achieved mainstream success by performing their own forward-thinking approach to traditional roots styles, John Brown's Body with reggae and Toubab Krewe with West African music.
In recent years both groups' music has spread like a grassroots wildfire to the farthest corners of the world. While Toubab Krewe performed in Mali and Portugal, John Brown's Body completed first-ever tours of New Zealand and the U.K. in late 2009.
This month, the musicians were re-introduced aboard Jam Cruise (read the Jam Cruise review here). Returning from stops in Jamaica and Grand Cayman Island, the bands met up during an all-artist basketball tournament (neither advanced past the first round). Despite a disappointing showing on the court, they spent the night catching up and watching each other perform as the ship sailed out to sea.
The upcoming tour will build on the friendly vibe forged in far away places, where the bands found common ground.
