Pressure Cooker returned from a beautiful weekend of live music, new friends and warm memories in Rhode Island. On Thursday night, 7/16/09 we performed to a packed house at the ConserFest Music Festival on Block Island alongside phenomenal Providence hip hop artist Chachi, please check him out http://chachihiphop.com/. Also surf/funk/reggae band Homeslice for kicking off the night. Huge big up to Cameron Greenlee for spearheading the festival and also Travis & Alice for the island hospitality.

On Friday night 7/17, we joined forces with Rhode Island’s premiere ska-rocksteady-reggae band SOULSHOT at one of their favorite haunts, the Ocean Mist. Pressure Cooker kicked off the night with special guest players Frank Moniz, Ken Stewart and Mark Bernie in the lineup. Then, Soulshot kicked it in to high gear backing Boston’s Tom O’Brien and Jamaica’s Dalton ‘Screwdriver’ Lindo, culminating in a super-enjoyable evening of roots reggae music for all in attendance.

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.
