H.A. S. O. Live Productions presents Reggae dancehall performer Anthony B who will be performing along with Malika Mademana on Sunday, January 17 at Image VIP Lounge at 705 J Street in downtown Sacramento. Showtime is at 9pm and $25 tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
 
Draped in the rich colors of African cloth, his trademark staff in hand, and his dreadlocks wrapped regally on his head, Anthony B embodies all that it is spiritual and proactive about Reggae music. This artist has been steadfast in his mission to represent the poor and oppressed, using sharp lyrics to confront political injustices and bring the issues of the people to the forefront. In the process, he has raised the quality of performance standards and lyrical content for the industry, through the release of 10 albums, over 1000 singles and appearances on over 100 albums in the last 15 years. 
 
Anthony B¹s musical journey started in the church, back when he was still called Keith Anthony Blair in Clark¹s Town, Trelawney. In this part of rural Jamaica, Anthony B was immersed in the thunderous chants and rhythms of Revivalism and the Seventh Day Adventist church where he honed his soon-to-be signature vocals. In his formative years, the artiste also cleaved to the music of Otis Redding and the incomparable Peter Tosh.
