Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads | June 7 | 6:00PM | Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center Pavilion | Tickets are on sale at www.sugarloafpacny.com

On "Life During Wartime," the first single from Talking Heads' 1979 album, Fear Of Music, David Byrne famously sang the immortal lyrics, "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco...no time for dancing..." Yet all of those anti-fun declarations go gleefully out the window when Mystic Bowie, aka the "Head Dread." takes the stage, re-imagining & infusing fresh life into the Talking Heads' classic catalog with his high octane mix of roots reggae, ska, & lover's rock (aka "romantic reggae.")

The charismatic Jamaican-born singer & performer, Mystic Bowie, has electrified audiences at more than 300 shows across North America -- spinning the heads of initially skeptical Talking Heads fans, and getting everyone else grooving along to the infectious, joyous rhythms & jubilant spirit of his native island.

It was only a matter of time before Bowie moved back to his cherished homeland. He gathered old friends he had played music with since childhood, along with younger musicians, legendary Jamaican artists, & other surprise guests to capture all of the magic of his live performances on the epic, 13-track recording, Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads.
