matisyahu

my friend is trying to convince me to go see matisyahu in jersey in a couple weeks. i'm not so sure about it - i know it's reggae, but has anyone seen him live before? is it real heavy on the 'jewish' thing (for lack of a better term!) i was just lookin at his list of songs, and they're real religious seeming, but i don't wanna jump to conclusions. so i ask this: does he put on a good show?

 

I was going to see him...it sold out


There are religious messeges, but the music is good nonetheless.

 

don't get me wrong - this is reggae after all; i was just unsure how much reggae it was versus solely religious music.
thanks for the reply.

 

you should definitely check it out his cd "live at stubbs".

 

im seeing him in chicago, hes awesome.

 

Lovem'. Puts on an awsome show!!!!

 

he is amazing go see him you non jewish loving friend

 

I'm seeing him in philly.

 

i'm a jew! i like jews. i just don't often prefer jewish music.
mama - that's quite interesting. i'm sure it'd be a trip to see the dynamics with him on stage.
mama, did you go to the rainbow gathering this past summer? there was a dude who performed at the talent show - a heady hassidic. it was great. all about dudes sellin drugs outta his corner bodega.

 

you lucky bastard.

 

Saw him at Wakarusa last summer. Go see him!!!! I hope he's gonna be there again.

 

I saw him a year ago on a whim after seeing him on Jimmy Kimmel. He played at a real small club. Now is going to be playing in Chicago at a pretty big theater. I am so happy he is getting a good following! He is great! The show I saw was fantastic. He tells stories and talks to the audience. There is a religious message but it is definitely not preachy. Plus he does a killer beat box Have fun!!

 

If I could get someone to go with me I would be seeing him in philly. His music has a very religious purpose, but if you like it you like it. Have you heard him at all?

 

Non Hasid Jews like The Beastie Boys?

 

absolutely spiritually mindblowing. im not a hacidic jewish man, im not THAT into reggae, and he had my chakras wide, physical eyes closed and feet moving. sold out detroit show, thank something i never pay for shit.. guestlist woot!

 

Anyone goin tonight to the show in jersey?

 

im seeing him in chicago and im curious, how long of shows does he do?
