Matisyahu
GWU Smith Center

Finally, dW and I got to see Matisyahu! Awesome! I haven't been to a reggae show in about 8 years. First there was a DJ - Mike - he was really good too. The Smith Center is pretty big....I went to a Division III school, so we didn't care about sports...

Matisyahu is a great performer - how many Hasidim you know can beatbox? His band is really good too. And this explains why the bass player looked so familiar (Groove Collective...small world). It was a pretty long set - over an hour - with two encore songs. The only thing missing was a random dancing Jamaican man...
