briguy Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey now. Throwing a party at Casbah on Sat Feb 9th. We’re celebrating Bob Marley’s birthday from the 6th, plus my own, and the singer of our band (Mike Rajczak) was born on the 8th. I’m expecting a huge party and it would be great to see some of you. We’ll most likely have a few special guests joining us on stage, plus killer dj’s in the lounge. I’ll post more info as we get closer. @ Casbah -- 10PM -- 19+ :: $5 306 King St W, Hamilton, ON *behind La Luna RIDDIM RIDERS Mike Rajczak – vocals, percussion Sharon Musgrave – vocals Richard Dailey – bass, vocals Erold Dailey – keys Franklin Joseph – drums, vocals Brian Carson – guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Riddim Riders salute MarleyFebruary 07, 2008James TennantThe Hamilton Spectator(Feb 7, 2008)If you're a reggae fan or were raised in the West Indies, you probably have a fair knowledge of reggae artists. Even if you have no clue what the word "reggae" means, you have likely heard of Bob Marley.Marley brought Jamaica's music onto the world stage, spreading his message of love and peace until his death from cancer in 1981. Hamilton's premier reggae act, the Riddim Riders, recognize Marley with a special birthday show this weekend. (Marley would have been 63 yesterday.)Riddim Riders' founder Mike Rajczak started playing reggae-infused music in The Inspirators but always wanted to play more authentic roots-style reggae. About three years ago, he started his search for the right musicians."I didn't really know anyone in Hamilton back then who were old-school reggae musicians," Rajczak says. While there were reggae fans in Hamilton, there were fewer dedicated reggae musicians than there might be in a larger city such as Toronto. Eventually, though, he and friend Sharon Musgrave found some -- including brothers Richard and Errol Dailey."They used to have a family band called the Dailey Five -- like the Jackson Five," Rajczak says. "They'd tour all around Jamaica."It didn't take long for the Riddim Riders to attract an audience.While there may not be a thriving reggae scene in town, there are plenty of fans who love the music, the message and the overall vibe of a Riddim Riders show, which is always relaxed, positive and friendly.For the Bob Marley show, the group has added a few extra songs by the artist -- both popular and lesser-known -- to help celebrate Marley's music and message."He was talking about freedom, peace and unity, and it didn't matter that it was coming from a Jamaican perspective," Rajczak says. "It was, and is, a universal story. He was the champion of equal rights and justice and a champion for poor people everywhere. And even people who were not poor could also equally see the truth of his overall message, which is summed up in One Love."James Tennant is program director at 93.3 CFMU.ShowtimeWhat: Riddim Riders' Happy Birthday Bob MarleyWhen: Saturday, 10 p.m.Where: The Casbah, 306 King St. W.Cost: $5 at the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
