World's only Hassidic Reggae singer Matisyahu's Summer Journey
The only Hasidic reggae star since - well, ever - will be bringing the word to fans across the U.S. over the next few months. Matisyahu has recently announced a string of dates from July through September.
Matisyahu's tour begins on July 9 at Philadelphia's World Café Live. Dates along the East coast will continue until July 14, including an appearance at New York City's annual Reggae Carifest on July 10.
The tour takes a break for the remainder of July and picks up again on August 4, with a show in Boston. From there, Matisyahu heads East for shows in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago, and St. Louis. A final show for the month is scheduled at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver on August 20.
The singer kicks off the month of September with a few shows in New York, but he'll be hitting the West Coast on September 20 with a show in Portland. The tour heads South from there, with several shows in major markets in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Continuing Eastward, Matisyahu will play a show in Dallas on September 27, followed by two gigs in Tennessee. A final show for the tour will be on October 1 in Bloomington, Ind.
Another treat for jam fans is that the shows from August 4 to August 11 will be opening for guitar-maestro, Trey Anastasio.
Matisyahu has been garnering much praise recently for a what is relatively short career. He has played at number of high-profile festivals lately, including the recent Bonnaroo. His last album, Live at Stubb's, was released in April.

he is not playing toward a frum audience...if you're frum and you listen to him i don't beleive that he would really even sanction that...i'm sure he consults with rabonim for scheduling and other issues and is lenient for the sake of others......

Matis is not the only Orthodox Reggae Singer. Nor is he even the first. The original is a guy named BennyBwoy who started in the late 80's & is back in the studio currently working on a new album. BennyBwoy had a group called The Lost Trybe of Hip Hop in the mid 90's with 2 of their singles from their Album hitting the Billboard Top 50 Rap charts. Just to set the record straight Who the original is.
