John Brown's Body Plays the Fox Theatre Tonight

Z2 Entertainment will present John Brown's Body with Special Guests at the Fox Theatre tonight, December 4th, 2015.

If you've been paying attention, you'll know that Kings And Queens is a synthesis of every aspect of John Brown's Body's storied career. It's as if, after close to two decades of existence, this pioneering band has finally crafted their ultimate statement, tying together styles they've dabbled in, paid respect to, created, or pushed forward into one tightly woven mosaic. JBB's Future Roots is now present tense.

Kings And Queens is bookended by three songs ("Step Inside" and "Invitation" at the start and "Searchlight" at the end) that invite listeners into the live arena where this band has excelled from the beginning. Evoking sound systems from the music's origins in 1960s Jamaica as well as JBB's own powerful live show, these songs remind all listeners about the strength in numbers found in the reggae community, especially at live shows and festivals, and how John Brown's Body has long been one of the greatest live acts in the genre.

This record shows that John Brown's Body continues to lead from the front of the pack. They look forward by looking back and find a way to invite JBB fans from all eras into their packed and sweaty tent. As the opening song says, "So many people / Step inside, step inside / Come one and all / Got to make the dancehall tight."
