Some artists play roots reggae. Clinton Fearon helped build it.
Airport Tavern Music Hall is incredibly proud to welcome Clinton Fearon & Boogie Brown Band back to Tacoma for a very special night celebrating one of reggae music’s true living legends.
Born in Jamaica, Fearon became bassist, vocalist and songwriter for the legendary Gladiators, spending nearly two decades with the group during the golden era of Jamaican roots reggae. Along the way, he worked in the orbit of foundational producers and studios including Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One and Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Black Ark, helping create music whose influence continues generations later.
In 1987, Clinton made the Pacific Northwest home, eventually forming the Boogie Brown Band with Seattle-area musicians and beginning the next chapter of a career that has now stretched across more than five decades.
That makes this one hit a little differently.
This isn't simply a touring reggae act passing through Tacoma. Clinton Fearon is part of the musical history of our region and part of the history of roots reggae itself. His songs carry the warmth, spirituality, social consciousness and unmistakable bass-driven groove that made Jamaican roots music resonate around the world.
And after all these years, Clinton is still creating, still touring and still spreading that message from the stage.
On Saturday, November 7, we get to experience it in the intimate setting of Airport Tavern Music Hall — close enough to feel every bass line and sing every word.
For longtime reggae heads, this is one you already understand.
For the next generation discovering where this music came from, this is your chance to see one of the people who was actually there.
