New Kingston, reggae and family on a warm May evening: Concerts in the Park, Sacramento

Tahir, New Kingston, Concerts in the Park

Nice to see Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-roots, reggae band New Kingston back in Sacramento and performing in the open air at Concerts in the Park, Cesar Chavez Plaza, Sacramento, on Friday evening. The Panton family, brothers and dad, have a real Jamaica sound... smooth and just right for a sultry end-of-the-work-week evening.
