Also included in the nights festivities is Matt Jones, an amazing local artist who paints to live music. Midnite always sell out at the door, so buy your tickets early! Tickets Available at: Streetlight Records in Santa Cruz. And online at www.inticketing.com or call 866-384-3060 Hailing from the Island of St Croix, Midnite is one of the most promising roots reggae bands of the millennium. They are vanguards of conscious reggae whose profound and innovative lyrics are sincere and deeply rooted. Their cd recordings and live performances will have reggae and non reggae listeners open to the messages they bring. Lead singer Vaughn Benjamin's electrifying voice seems an amalgamation of many great voices in reggae--soulful, chanting, edgy. Vaughn's potent lyrical style and his brother Ron's exquisite keyboards and musical directorship form the nucleus of this musical quintet. Midnite weaves the cultural lyrics of "old school" roots music with modern day experiences to create a unique listening encounter. Reggae - naked and raw is an apt description for Midnite's musical style, in which they forgo the frills of extensive remixes, overdubbing and other musical refinements. Midnite explodes in live performances with sets that often exceed 3 hours. Their vigorous, weighty sound, driven by the punchy bass lines creates a vibe that penetrates straight to the heart. These epic musical communions have earned Midnite an enormous following throughout the roots community. This is especially true in St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Brazil, St. Louis and here on the West Coast where they have toured extensively. Matt Jones is a self-taught artist from Santa Cruz. Music is Matts muse to create and channel art. Whether it is live music or not, it is a vehicle for creating the state of mind in which he needs to be in to paint. His favorite band is Midnite, and he painted to them for the first time at the Monterey Bay Reggae Festival this year. For Matt it is an honor to paint to them again. He has also painted live at Earthdance for the last two years and has just been invited to paint next year at Reggae on the River. He has also painted Live to Ozomatli, Universal Language, Culture & Luna Groove. Matt Jones is currently participating in "Open Studios" Artist 111 (905 Daniel Ct. Santa Cruz) Oct. 15&16 11am to 6pm.
