Toots Hibbert (Toots & The Maytals) closed out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Black history month reggae celebration Tuesday February 27 in Cleveland, Ohio. Reggae historian, Roger Steffens led Toots through his 43 year career with a beautiful evening of acoustic performance, interview and audience Q & A. The evening was special to the more than 170 people in attendance. Toots closed out a month long celebration that included Chris Blackwell, the Mighty Diamonds, and Mikey Dread.
Throughout the interview, Toots played over a dozen songs on acoustic guitar and Roger played many of the original records he brought from his collection. After two hours, Roger was asked to wrap thing up said “What ? We are only up to 1972”. Looks like he will need to come back for part 2. Toots closed out the evening signing autographs to most in attendance. The event was filmed for the Hall of Fame archives.
