Wednesday, June 21 YELLOWMAN AND THE SAGITARRIUS BAND River Ranch Lodge, Tahoe City, CA $18 advance/ $20 at the door but locals can get a $15 price by purchasing advance tickets at one of our local outlets. Doors 8/Showtime 9pm 21 and over Yellowman, also known as King Yellow, is the most widely known international Reggae Dancehall ambassador. His albums have always been supported by the fame he created and maintains by his hard work and tireless U.S. and worldwide tours in the face of all his physical adversity. Born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1956 as Winston Foster, the albino child was institutionalized and forced to attend special schools, due to his skin condition. Rather than sink into self-pity, Winston took on the nickname ³Yellowman² and began to pull himself up. Even his simultaneous battles with throat and skin cancer have not kept him down. Yellowman began his rise to fame in the 1970¹s when ³toasting², now called DJing, was on the rise. Much of the popularity of this Jamaican music, that became the basis of rap and hip hop, can give its modern credits to innovators such as Yellowman. He started out working with the Gemini Sound System, where he ruled the dances with his comedic lyrics. From there he became the undisputed ³King Of Dancehall² and has continually been asked to work with Jamaica¹s top producers, creating many well-known hits over the years. Like many reggae artists, Yellowman was inspired at an early age by classic American R&B and Blues artists, and this can be heard in his music. Yellowman¹s lyrics in recent years reflect a mature consciousness on his more recent albums and at stage shows. He is well-loved and is known world-wide for his witty and relevant social commentary, infectious melodies, danceable rhythms and pure fun. The SAGITTARIUS BAND is one of Jamaica¹s premiere, popular, proficient and absolutely professional backing bands. The River Ranch Lodge is located along the Truckee River on Highway 89 at Alpine Meadows Road, three and one-half miles from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. The historic roadhouse offers year-round lodging, outdoor patio, full bar and fine dining.

Biography: Cornell Campbell Cornell Campbell, a.k.a. the Gorgon, started singing professionally in 1956 at the age of 8, when he recorded his first songs for the legendary Coxsone Dodd at Studio One but he is best known for the series of "Gorgon Rock" records he cut with legendary producer Bunny Lee. Cornell Campbell was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1948. As a teen Campbell recorded his first material as a series of ska sides both as a solo artist and as one half of a duo with Alan Martin from 1964 to 1967. Campbell worked for a time as a member of the rocksteady harmony trio - The Uniques. As the decade ended, he led the group The Eternals, scoring a number of Studio One-generated hits including "Queen of the Minstrels" and "Stars". He joined the Sensations, singing alongside Jimmy Riley, Winston Riley's brother Buster and Aaron "Dego" Davis. The group's debut was a cover of Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers' '(I'm Not A) Juvenile Delinquent', produced by Duke Reid of Treasure Isle - the music having slowed down and changed from ska to rocksteady in the meantime. In 1971 he again went solo, teaming with Bunny Lee, a pairing which spotlighted Campbell's distinctive falsetto to stunning effect. Despite earning acclaim for a self-titled LP issued on Trojan two years later, in 1975 he shifted from the lovers rock sensibility of recent years toward a more explicitly Rastafarian approach, with records like "Natty Dread in a Greenwich Farm" and "Natural Fact"- both of which developed into his biggest hits to date. Later that year, Campbell and Lee also launched "The Gorgon," a boastful smash, which yielded a series of hit sequels. His 1977 hit "The Investigator" heralded a successful return to lover's rock style. Songs like "Boxing" and "Rope In", both released by Joe Gibbs, proved that Cornell Campbell could again rule the dance hall as the up-tempo rockers era yielded to the rub-a-dub sound in the late 70s and early 80s. Recording sporadically over the following decades, the Gorgon has resurfaced again and again to claim his rightful place in the pantheon of golden-throated singers. Cornell Campbell 's old school, sweet singing voice is a unique sound to be cherished and remembered. Today, with 50 years of music-making experience and over 40 album releases, his presentation is still entrancing. With Studio One, Bunny Lee, and Joe Gibbs hits filling his classic song catalog, Cornell Campbell is still the Gorgon. Biography: Sister I-live Sister I-live was born and raised in the parish of Westmoreland in Jamaica. Her first singing experiences began in her local parish church and school choirs. She later became a participant in the local Youth Club concerts, where she was loved and accepted. This exposure inspired her to start writing her and recording her own compositions. She and her friends would frequently go to the beach side with guitars and drums and chant music for hours. Sister I-live loved to attend dancehall sessions in clubs by the ocean, where she loved to dance long hours to all kinds of music. From an early age Sister I-live was interested in seeking a spiritual way of life. At fourteen years old, she began visiting and reasoning with local Rasta breathren and sistren. Sister I-live loved attending the Nyabinghi groundation gatherings where Rasta people would chant together along with hand drums. In 1973, she began to grow her dreadlocks and further her commitment to her faith. When she was 22, Sister I- live moved from the Westmoreland countryside to Kingston where she lived with her world-renowned cousin, Peter Tosh. Peter was a mentor to I-live, and he encouraged her to continue singing. In 1984 Sister I- live moved to California, where she started performing in the DJ style, toasting over the local sound systems. Then she began singing on stage shows, backing up local reggae performers. In 1987, she got together her own band called the Chosen Few, with some of the best reggae musicians in the Bay Area. In the 90's and early 2000's, I-live and her band performed consistently locally and then spreaded out around the West Coast and Canada. Sister I- Live's first release for Out Of Many One, Jah Guide was released in 1989. Her follow up release, Jealousy, (2002) was recorded and mixed in Kingston with some of the best reggae studio musicians in the world. Her recorded music provides a strong foundation for her live show repetoire. Sister I-live is a lively performer whose dancing infectiously moves her audiences. Her effervescent, bubbling, upbeat vibes are contagious as she sings and dances.

Gregory Isaacs ranks as one of the true superstars of reggae music, with a career that spans over three decades. His legions of loyal fans worldwide have graced him with several names throughout his career - the Cool Ruler, Mr. Love, Mr. Cool and just plain Gregory. No matter what the name, no one will dispute that he is the quintessential lover¹s rock singer. Though he first made a name for himself in the early 1970¹s, he remains to be championed as the very definition of lover¹s rock. This title was not gained and maintained with just one hit. He has over 500 songs and over 70 albums to his credit -and counting. His humble upbringing began in Kingston, Jamaica where he was born in 1951. Like many before him, he started his singing career in the early 70's by working with a number of producers and entering various local talent competitions. By 1980, Gregory had become one of the biggest reggae stars in the world, and reached a high point in his career touring extensively throughout the US and the UK. Over the years, Gregory Isaacs has worked hard to keep his legendary status and reputation in the reggae business second to none. After an absence from the United States of several years, Gregory Isaacs has finally returned to grace stages with his unforgettable performances and a voice that could melt the thickest glass.Don¹t miss the opportunity to catch this true reggae superstar in the beautiful showroom with large dance floor at MontBleu (formerly Caesars Tahoe, Advance tickets are available : Tahoe/Truckee: at Montbleu, Mad About Music, Tahoe Hemp New Moon, Joby¹s, The Dam Café, Alice¹s Mountain Market in Squaw Valley,; Reno: Recycled Records.
