Loose Leaf Notes

We can always count on Dogtown Roadhouse to bring good bands to Floyd for those of us who go to the dance floor instead of the gym.

I always check Dogtown’s upcoming band list and then listen to a couple of tracks of the bands I think I might like.  But when it comes to reggae I don’t even have to check because I know I’ll like it and that it will be danceable.

The lead guitarist/songwriter/vocalist of Strange Rootz is from Virginia Beach. The keyboardist/songwriter/vocalist is from Jamaica. The band did some Bob Marley songs and Joe and I sang along as we danced.  They also played originals and we danced every dance of the first set until we were worn out.  But we kept the spirit going and played and sang reggae all the way on the drive home. I hope they come back!
