Ease Yourself, Free Yourself, See Yourself, Be Yourself
This weekend, in search of something new to do, we decided to go to the House of Blues in Harvard Square. I had never been, even though I’ve probably walked by it a hundred times.
The place isn’t very big, but it’s a great place to catch a show. We saw two reggae bands perform. The first band, Mang Dub played a nice set of dub. They were a full 7 piece band with two saxophone players and another member played this instrument that I’d never seen before. It looked like a keyboard with a mouthpiece attached to it. We joked that it was an electric bagpipe.
Next up was Vibewise. They really got the crowd into it. Their lead singer had great stage presence, the whole place was moving. They had a lot of guests come up on stage and that really added a new dimension to their set.
Sadly, they’ve just announced that they are closing the location and looking for a bigger venue. I feel so privileged that I got a chance to experience a show there before they close it down.
