Pressure Cooker keeps the heat on full blast to dry out this soggy summer in Boston and Southern New England. We return to our favorite local stage, JOHNNY D’S in Davis Square, Somerville on Saturday July 11th. Come out to dance and enjoy the great vibes with us.
Then, Southern Rhode Island welcomes Pressure Cooker for the first time in over eight years at two of the hottest venues in the region, the YELLOW KITTENS on Block Island on Thursday July 16 and the OCEAN MIST in Matunuck the next night, Friday July 17 with our good friends Soulshot, Rhode Island’s top rocksteady band. Both of these spots are great hangouts, and perfect spots to enjoy roots reggae music.
Special Note: July 16 at Yellow Kittens is a very special benefit called the Block Island Conserfest, visit the Conserfest website for more info.
It’s time to feel good again with hot summer grooves from Boston’s finest original reggae band. Don’t miss Pressure Cooker- three nights in a row!
Thursday, Friday & Saturday, June 25, 26 & 27th!
