Matisyahu uplifts B.B. King blues club

Matisyahu rocked B.B. King Blues Club in New York City yesterday night.

The crowns was 70% high scholl kids and 20% middles aged New Yorkers. I imagine some came to the club after reading about Matisyahu in the Wall Street Journal article. Hey, this beats Chinese restaurant� They had to suffer through the Guest Opener BAZAAR ROYALE. The older crowd really did not know what hit them.




Matisyahu�s band was larger with a different base, keyboard player and some of the songs compared to the Boston�s gig. The energy was very high with a lively and bubbling mosh pit. I had a sense that in the end young and old all enjoyed the show. The club was packed; there must have been at least a thousand people.

Music and art is about weavings patterns, contrasting high and low notes, mixing complimentary colors. Matisyahu does it in his own unique style with soulful vocals balanced by lively and aggressive reggae rock. Even the middle aged Jewish mamas could not resist the beat.


Yoni, AKA "the only Jewish rapper from Minneapolis" performs with Matisyahu.
