There are some music venues with Laundromats, art galleries and bowling alleys and in Lexington NC there is High Rock Outfitters, a combination of a nightclub and retail establishment.

 

High-Rock-Outfitters

13 South Main Street
Lexington, NC 27292

 

During the day it’s a place where you can purchase kayaks, wakeboards, canoes and paddles, anything you might need for that type of outdoor adventure. In the evenings it's the most popular local spot to see live music.  You can expect to see established touring acts as well as the best up and coming bands around.

"In 15 years of playing music I have never seen a venue grow and improve as much as High Rock Outfitters; and it is all because of the hard work and passion of the owners, Chris and Brittany.  We perform up and down the east coast and we always look forward to coming back to this venue."
- Brian Swenk of Big Daddy Love

"Chris and the staff of High Rock Outfitters in Lexington NC are very accommodating, down to earth and in tune with the musicians they bring in. When The Morning After played we had a great show and a full room, and it was our first time in. They did a great job getting the word out and were very gracious hosts. We can't wait to come back!"

- Hank Smith of The Morning After

 

"Hands down, one of the best sounding stages in the region! There is a magic in this venue that reminds me of the old Blind Tiger" - George Westberry of The Deluge

Acoustic folk, reggae, funk and old-fashioned roots rock

BJB_Press_photo

The Blue James Band is an American rock band founded and fronted by vocalist and guitar player Clifton Williams.  The Blue James Band was formed in Los Angeles, California, but are now based in Boston, MA.

The band began in 2004 as a vehicle for Clifton Williams’ songs while he was scoring projects for film and television while in Los Angeles.  The band released their debut record, that’s that, in 2005 and their sophomore effort, WILL, in 2008. 

After touring the Western US from 2005-2008, Clifton decided to move the project to the East Coast to “see how the other half lives” as he puts it.  “I’ve lived in California my whole life and though I love it and consider myself a true Californian, I wanted to get out for awhile to experience the other coast.” 

He stopped in Virginia for a few years, released the 2nd Blue James Band album and finally settled into the Boston area.  It was in Virginia where he met current bass player Bryan Worley and multi-instrumentalist Liz Lawrence.  They moved to Boston with Clifton and along with Cornelius Foley on drums, the East coast Blue James Band was completed.  Keyboardist Valerie Taylor also tours with the band on occasion.

The band recorded their 3rd album, Give Me the Love or Give Me the Fight, while on tour in Virginia.  Clifton produced the record and finished the process at his studio in Boston, MA.  Scott Reibling (Weezer, Letters to Cleo) mixed the record which will be released on Chappy Payne Records in September of 2012.

Give Me the love or Give Me the Fight is a testament to the band's passion for imaginative, fun-filled, soul-soothing songs. Give Me the Love or Give Me the Fight sees Blue James Band as vibrant as ever. with their sunny roots/rock n' roll/reggae style fused throughout the album's ten tracks. Inventive musicality and lyrical style underlie the album, allowing each track to take listeners on their own journey, while providing singularity that impresses like a fingerprint. 

Blue James Band let their souls run free to simmer in creativity, both musically and lyrically, resulting in an album that is transcendent, yet accessible. Highlights include the reggae-infused "Not Ready For You" and the worldly "T Come and They Go." 

At the heart of the album is the title track, the lyrics of which embody the often-ineffable complexities of love. Says singer/songwriter Clifton Williams..."I want passion in my relationships and with that comes the highs of love and the lows of fights. Without both, the passion is somehow muted." This type of sensitivity and depth, encapsulated in simple form, is thematic of the band's lyrical signature. Coupled with a rhythmic melody that pulses throughout the track.the song demands that you move your feet and sing along. 

Give Me the love or Give Me the Fight uniquely captures Blue James Band's infectious energy, which fans around the world already enjoy in the band's spirited live shows. With Williams sitting as producer and Scott Riebling (Weezer.We The Kings) mixing, the Blue James Band is set to release their most dynamic and inventive album to date.

With the recent addition of a new lead singer, iLa Mawana will release a new EP on 11/06.

ila_mawana_press_photo_large

iLa Mawana is fusion of groove music ranging from funk/soul to roots/dub reggae. Live performances are infectious with positive energy and the octet delivers their full sound with tight pocket grooves that display the diverse musical background of each member of the group.

More recently the group has joined forces with singer/songwriter Hayley Jane, the new 'front woman' and lyrical guru of iLa Mawana, who has helped inspire a new set of original material the group has yet to release.  An EP with all new original tunes is in the works and several songs will be released prior to iLa Mawana's show at The Paradise supporting International Reggae Superstars: Groundation

The Boston-based band & family has been touring the Northeast since 2007, including 2 national tours following the release of their debut studio album, Soldiers of Sound, in 2010. The album features 12 original tracks offering positive commentary on social awareness, blissful horn melodies, and warm tasty grooves that make you "absorbed in their vibe" 

- Homegrown Music Network.


"...a stealth contender for one of the best albums of 2010" - Lucid Culture


"iLa Mawana's heart may lie in reggae's past, but their diverse take on traditional roots/reggae is what I perceive to be the future" - Lost in Sound

Groundation 

2012 will be a year remembered for a lot of things - world-wide unrest, wars, famine & great uncertainty. Not least of all, it will be remembered as the year Groundation built an ark. Through their musical evolution, spanning now 7 full-length studio albums and numerous side projects, Groundation has developed an international following that has brought people together from all continents, races and creeds through a shared vibration and vision. With "Building An Ark" Groundation has created a vessel by which this community can come together and weather the rough and rising seas that are to come.

"Building An Ark," like the band's previous albums before it, sets a new benchmark in not only production value, tone and power---but also in its visionary elements of blending styles and tackling heavy subject matter. Whether the outstanding solos and interplay of the players of instruments or the uplifting and complimenting vocal harmonies, Groundation pulls off the singular feat long mastered by true Roots Reggae----rough and revolutionary messages draped in appealing and soothing music. And the results speak for themselves.

Already, the Building An Ark 2012 World Tour has seen the band play to tens of thousands of fans on four continents and over twenty countries. The US segment of that tour brings Groundation back to their stomping grounds on the West Coast, as well as some very select Eact Coast dates, plus the Caribbean and Hawaii. US audiences are finally starting to catch up to their international counterparts. With the band's ever-changing set lists and extended improvisation grooves, a core "jam-band" type following hitting multiple shows in a row has sprung up from Oregon to Florida and all points in between.
