Arts Strictly Starkey
Andrew Bees is best known as lead singer for the
legendary reggae act Black Uhuru, but he’s also
got a healthy solo career going, as attendees will
see when he plays Mongo’s Saloon on Friday, Nov. 5
with Ras Danny, Vance of Resination, Reggae
Soundclash with MC Drakee of I Powersounds, and
DJ Katchafiya of Majestik Sounds.
Andrew Bees was born in 1972 in the Waterhouse
area of Kingston, Jamaica, and according to his bio,
he “started his young musical career writing lyrics
praising Jah works. He began to sing early in his life
among reggae all-star performers such as Derrick
‘Duckie’ Simpson, Don Carlos, Sly Dunbar and Robbie
Shakespeare, Michael Rose, and Junior Reid of Black
Uhuru. His popularity began in 1986, when he sang on
the well-known program ‘Colgate Cavity Fighters;’ the
[transmission] appeared to be a great success and the
voice of Andrew Bees was now known all over Jamaica.
His career then launched as he took a part in the ‘Ghetto
Bash Show’ on several occasions, in particular in 1993,
where he accompanied Bunny Wailer. The following year,
he performed in the ‘One Coils Festival,’ of Negril, which
gave him another dimension to his career.”
In 1997, Duckie asked him to join Black Uhuru, and
he’s been with them ever since. In an interesting twist
of fate, because Duckie can’t get a visa, Ras Danny,
who grew up in Trenchtown and was discovered by
Bob Marley, has been asked to join Black Uhuru as
the backing band. So Ras Danny and his band are
essentially backing Andrew Bees as Black Uhuru.
Pretty sweet for this SLO Town resident, who’ll be on the
road with the band after the weekend’s show. As soon
as Duckie gets a visa, he’ll join up, but it appears since
Ras Danny signed with the agency representing Black
Uhuru, he’s now an official member of the band.
There will be door prizes, drawings, gift certificates,
and a raffle for a custom irie bike from the HBO show
Weeds. Buy tickets at Bali Isle in SLO Town.
Shooter, Buddz, and Goodbye
When I look at Shooter Jennings, I don’t think,
“Hey, he must be Waylon’s kid.” Shooter looks like the
quintessential bad boy rocker—crazy skinny, tatted-up,
long-haired. In fact, he stood in for Axl Rose a couple
times when the Guns N’ Roses front man couldn’t make
a gig, and he fit right in.
Still, there’s some country boy in there somewhere.
According to his bio, he’s got a tattoo of a gun, and
“underneath that gun are the letters CBCS, for ‘country
boy can survive.’”
He’s got a few albums under his belt, including the
awesomely titled Put the O Back in C untry, and when he
plays SLO Brew on Saturday, Nov. 6 (7:30 p.m.; 18-andolder;
$20), he’ll probably play a few choice covers, including
one by Hank Williams Jr. that seems to also sum up the
younger Jennings’ huge shadow: “I don’t wanna be a
legend/ I just wanna be a man,” he sings on “Living Proof.”
The Bob Lawrence Band will open the show.
Shooter Jennings will also play a free, 5 p.m. in-store at
Boo Boo Records with just him and his guitarist John
Schreffler. Afterward, he’ll hang out for 15 to 20 minutes
to sign CDs and meet fans. Pick up a copy of his newest
album, Black Ribbons.
“In terms of my fans, I think there’s a group of them
that might be looking for me to do something that is just
retro or a throwback to what my dad did,” Shooter said
in press materials. “And if I don’t do something like that,
they’re gonna look at it as blasphemous.”
SLO Brew keeps on rolling with the return of Collie
Buddz on Wednesday, Nov. 10 (8 p.m.; 18-and-older;
$23 presale or $25 at the door). The Holdup opens.
Buddz, who’s either Bermuda-born or from New Orleans
(it’s a mystery!), creates a distinctive blend of hip-hop,
soca, and reggae, and he frequently puts his voice through
a special effects blender: “Some tunes I create are just
to show that I could do anything I put my mind to,” he
explained in his bio, “to show the versatility of my style.”
