His name was Lincoln, but most of the music world knew him as Sugar. Starting a recording career in the late 1960’s as part of The African Brothers band, Sugar Minott became popular as a solo artist in Jamaica during the mid-70’s. Sugar was an early pioneer of reggae’s dance hall sound; he developed a talent for writing new songs to fit over existing rhythms (which at the time was common when singers performed live but rare in the studio), often proving more popular than the original songs. His career skyrocketed in the U.K. and the U.S. after the release of “Herbman Hustling” in the early 80’s. Sugar focused his fame (and money) into championing up and coming talent through his Youth Promotion sound system. Decades later, he was still recording and touring around the world.

How to perform outdoors
This past Sunday was an exciting day for a few of us music-loving adventurers. There was an outdoor afternoon show at the Crystal Palace (our friends listed in the title) followed by a ridiculously fun show at the RC4NV (Ty Segall, Green Flash and Hermit Convention). Tromping through town with a musical suntan is just the right thing for the end of summer.
