Reggae in Humboldt County

In continuing a tradition that began in
Humboldt County some 24 years ago the
Reggae Rising Festival is ready to roll in 2007.
On August 3, 4 and 5, reggae's finest musicians
are set to deliver loads of positive vibes in one
of the world's most pristine atmospheres on
California's northern coast.

This first edition of Reggae Rising Music Festival
will be held at the Dimmick Ranch and French's Camp
in Piercy, California - located 200 miles north of
San Francisco. As the otherwise tranquil and rural area
prepares to have its "river banks overflow with reggae
music," Carol Bruno, head huncho at People Productions
is bubbling with excitement.

Working with a dedicated group, many of whom were
part of the original movement to launch an annual reggae
festival in that area, Bruno is confident that this inaugural
year will be one to be remembered. The lineup is amazing,
boasting top artistes like: Sly & Robbie, Horace Andy,
Ziggy Marley, Morgan Heritage, Stephen Marley, Collie Budz,
Ritchie Stephens, Freddie McGregor and a host more.
