Legendary ska, rocksteady, early reggae and Jah RnB group The Ska Vendors are celebrating 21 years of playing around Naarm/Melbourne and across Australia. To kick off the milestone, they've released two 7” vinyls - the first with Jamaican foundation artist Stranger Cole after a triumphant four-show tour late in 2022, and recently, 'Good Love Bad', a song written by Kerri Simpson, recently inducted into the Blues Hall of fame.
Ahead of their special tribute concert at Bird’s Basement celebrating the iconic Jamaican saxophonist Tommy McCook, The Ska Vendors drop in to PBS to perform an exclusive Studio 5 Live set on Blue Juice. Tune in from 11am on Sunday August 31 for this special performance and interview with host Mohair Slim.
