Rose is no stranger to the stage -- his original band, Black Uhuru, won the first Grammy for reggae in 1985 for their album, Anthem. He has performed with all the reggae greats, from the Wailers to Gregory Isaacs. Last night Rose stuck mostly to his most popular songs, including some from his latest album, Great Expectations. But he also managed to slip in the mandatory Michael Jackson tribute at one point: "The girl is mine," he sang. "The doggone girl is mine."


Critic's Notebook:
Turns out that Michael Jackson sounds really good as reggae. Who knew?

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
