This was by far my favorite Soulajar performance. The Spotlight Theatre was packed. I had a full stomach. Joel Jacob opened the show and kicked his snare like a mad dog. Oh, and the Ska King was absent, which meant Big Ray of Bakotopia was the emcee.
By the time this story posts, Soulajar will still be getting their groove on down at the Spotlight...
Let's start with Joel Jacob. He grew up partly in the South Pacific. I think I could hear the island influences, the island reggae riffs in his crooning. Yet he is more than just an island boy with a guitar strapped to his side. He's jazzy, hip-hop, funky, funny...
He sat and kicked a bass drum and snare while jamming on the guitar, singing, and stopping to blow some harmonica. That was just one song. He mixed it up here and there and I dug the past KELLY 95.3 winner's hip-hop the most. The crowd roared approval.
Then the mothership landed...

***Don't forget to catch Soulajar, Mento Buru, and Joel Jacob performing on Fat Tuesday, February 20th, 2007 at Fishlips!
It will be packed!
