Information from around the state
The Victoria Inn Bed and Breakfast has partnered with Cuzin Richard Entertainment Associates to present a new music series in Hampton. "Friday Reggae" will feature a different reggae band each Friday through the end of August. Hampton's Victoria Inn owners Aaron and Maureen Brown, and General Manager Pamela Ferguson recognized a deficit in local music venues, and decided the Victoria Inn Annex, located on the Inn's grounds, would make for a great place for people to come to dance, party and have fun.
Owner Aaron Brown says, "We hold lots of very successful weddings and private events here. We thought it was about time we opened up for the general public to enjoy." The Annex features a spacious dance floor and a full bar. A special Barbeque menu provided by Mahalos Catering will be made available during the shows.
Richard Smith, founder of Cuzin Richard Entertainment Associates agency says, "We hear all the time from our artists that there aren't enough places to play out anymore. I'm very excited that Aaron and Maureen have stepped up help to fill the gap." About their choice of music offerings, Smith says, "There's probably no better fit for this place, at this time, than a Reggae series. The bands we've lined up all have great energy and a really positive attitude." He adds, "It's time say goodbye to the rain, and let the heat do it's thing."
The first three acts in the series are:
July 17 - Hot Like Fire. Celebrating 20 years performing current, popular reggae and soca music as well as classic favorites. New England Performer magazine says Hot Like Fire is "energetic, upbeat and highly addictive."
July 24 - Saylyn. Channeling the rhythms of their early life in Jamaica, Danny and Bary "Bilco" have brought their reggae roots to New England audiences for more than a decade, earning a reputation for good music and a fun time enjoyed by fans of all generations.
July 31 - Conscious Band. Jamaican born and now based in Boston, this group not only loves the music they play but also the audience that listens. They are truly dedicated to providing a sound that is soothing, distinct and unforgettable.
Performances will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. each Friday through the end of August. Admission is $12. The Victoria Inn Annex is located at 430 High Street, Hampton.
