Skruffians at The Triple Rock w/ The Toasters and Umbrella Bed

I play with Minneapolis ska/reggae/jazz band The Skruffians. I cop the drum styles of my childhood heroes Lloyd Knibb, Carlton Barrett, Sly Dunbar and Style Scott, while keeping it open. The 7- or 8-piece band does the classic Jamaican ska of the Skatalites, plus horn-driven ska originals and other dancing/listening music. This is an early show with one of the original 1980s NYC two-tone bands and a longstanding local ska band. The last time I did a show with Toasters was in 1990. $12 cover. www.triplerocksocialclub.com
