FOLIO
EVENT: Supervillains/Spiritual Rez
WHEN: November 21
WHERE: Jack Rabbits
INFO: (904) 398-7496
Boston’s beloved reggae-rock funkateers Spiritual Rez can shake the stage like a horn-fueled earthquake. You’ll expect ocean mashed melodies, swagger-centric basslines, crisp soaring horns, and ska-infused jam sections that have come to define Rez’s progressive signature sound. While their groove is primarily rooted in rock, reggae, and funk traditions, the septet draws stylistic influence from nearly every musical movement of the 20th century. Over the past 9 years, Rez has tirelessly toured the country ten times over, cemented their status as a consistent festival favorite, and honed their exhilarating live show into an incomparable, unabashed musical extravaganza. They have shared the stage with a startlingly broad range of artistic visionaries, including Toots and the Maytals, Gogol Bordello, Dirty Heads, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Jimmy Buffett and Bernie Worrell.
