Free concert series continues in Dumfries
[ngg_images gallery_ids=”471″ display_type=”ds-nextgen_royalslider”]
Cool off this Sunday at Dumfries 3rd Annual Music Concert Series.
“GP Vibe Band” and “I and I Riddim” will perform in Garrison Park behind Town Hall from 3 to 6 p.m.
I and I Riddim Reggae band have made an impression on D.C. area music since they first formed in 2011, winning DC’s best reggae band three years in a row. Manager of the band and former member, Toni Marie says no band has as much fun performing as I and I Riddim does.
“This has been the best group I’ve ever worked with, the most fun job I’ve ever had,” she says. The band members come from all over the world and have each performed in various different countries. Lead vocalist Nickoli Andrews was born in Jamaica, where he first discovered his love of music.
“The lead vocal is just full of energy,” Toni says. “He’s real animated, real active on stage and he just kinda draws people in. He brings out the energy in everybody.”
She adds that everyone in the group brings something great to the band. “Everyone is so talented, when they get together they just love playing together and it shows on the stage.”
Toni says that one of their best moments performing has been when Junior Marvin, former guitarist for Bob Marley, showed up at one of their concerts.
“To have someone like him being that interested in what we do, that was one of the high points in what we’ve done,” Toni said. “He came up and did a few songs. It’s nice when the legends come and are interested in what you do.”
The event is kid-friendly, with special activities for children. Everyone is encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and coolers.
This is the second to last concert in the Dumfries Music Concert Series this summer, so don’t miss your chance to see a great show.
“You can’t go away from one of their performances feeling angry or sad or upset you always go away feeling really good,” Toni says.
