10. REGGAE ON THE ROCKS @ RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE | SAT, 8/25
Not ready to let go of summer just quite yet? That's probably because Reggae on the Rocks hasn't happened yet, signaling the end notes of another season. The 25th edition of the annual shindig goes down tomorrow night at the Rock with a lineup that includes Yellow Dubmarine, Judge Roughneck, the Meditations, Steel Pulse, Burning Spear and Rebelution. When we caught up with Eric Rachmany, the frontman of Rebelution earlier this year, he told us it's taken time and experience for him to learn how to be comfortable in the spotlight. Soft-spoken and humble, Rachmany's a songwriter who's uncomfortable writing lyrics about his own experiences, and he's dealt with the duties of fame in different ways, from writing songs from different perspectives to incorporating a saxophone player in the band's live shows. We spoke with him about releasing three different versions of the album. Read the full interview.
