John Brown's Body, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra, DJ Osmose
Friday, May 6 @ Live Wire
Self-described “future roots” collective John Brown’s Body is steeped in the spirit of traditional reggae music but incorporates elements of folk, electronica and jam-band funkiness to round out its wide-ranging sound. The Boston-based group, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, is in Athens to play a career-spanning set of material that will also feature songs from the upcoming Fireflies, an album set to drop later this year. Fusion-focused jazz outfit Jonathan Scales Fourchestra opens Friday’s show, and local favorite DJ Osmose will lay down a set of vinyl-only vibes.
