By Lawless On March 6, 2012 · Leave a Comment

The Skatalites featuring Lester Sterling and the queen of Ska Doreen Shafer are headlining the 2nd annual Echoes of Kingston Tour. The tour will start in Houston Texas on Friday March 30 then head to stops in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizone, Mexico, throughout California, Washington, Oregon, Canada and end at the huge Viva Ska Vegas Festival in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday April 28. Each stop of the tour will feature bands supporting the legendary Jamaican artist bringing together young bands with the forefathers on the same stage. Los Angeles’ Delirians will support most of the California dates making this the second year they have played the tour.

Follow updates on the tour at the Skatalites official page or the tour website www.echoesofkingston.com. I’ll actually be tweeting along the tour as well so follow daily updates from the tour via the Skatalites Twitter account or the Jamrec Ent Twitter account.
