Get Ready for Reggae on Tax Day
Jah Spirit play at the Portsmouth Public Library on April 15, kicking off this Spring's music series.

The Portsmouth Public Library is proud to present a rockin’ music series for Spring 2015, and all concerts are free of charge. Whether you like the blues, jazz, Celtic, Irish, reggae, folk or anything other kind of music, there’s something for you at PPL. All concerts will take place in the Levenson Room, but come early to make sure you get a seat!
On Wednesday April 15, join us for Reggae on Tax Day with Jah Spirit! Jah Spirit’s music sends a message of peace and freedom while celebrating social consciousness and universality among all peoples.
Under the dynamic leadership of writer, composer, singer Ras Michael I, the group blends an African-Reggae beat with elements of calypso jazz, blues and rock. Ras Michael, a native of Trinidad, captivates his audiences with spellbinding lyrics and a stage presence that has been described as charismatic, highly energetic and spirited. Interaction between the audience and the musicians is a recognized trademark of Jah Spirit.
