Sounds Local: Music Builds Community: Greenfield’s First Reggae Festival Coming in August, Headlined by Michael Palmer

Michael Palmer, also known as “Palma Dog,” will headline the Greenfield Reggae Festival on August 11. Palmer, who grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, is one of the most popular and successful singers of the dance era. His neighbor, reggae artist Leroy Smart, encouraged him to sing. He stepped away from music for a while and began recording and touring in 2017.

The Thunderballs, a roots reggae band led by Jamaican singer-songwriter N. L. Dennis, will perform at Greenfield Reggae Fest on August 11. Dennis, known as the “golden voice of Jamaica,” provided harmonies for legendary artists such as Toots Hibbert and Desmond. Dekker released a series of cult old singles in the 1970s such as “Help I Jah” featuring the Thunderballs originals. CONTRIBUTED
