Taj Weekes & Adowa play March 11, 8 p.m. at California Brew Haus. PHOTO PROVIDED
Growing up on the island of St. Lucia, a young Taj Weekes was exposed to all kinds of music on the radio - music that wasn't segregated, gentrified, or defined as anything other than just good music. Church played an influence as well as his Caribbean surroundings. Weekes moved to New York City by way of Toronto and released his first album, "Hope and Doubt," in 2005. Within his music's lift and fantastic groove there is a strong social and spiritual message. In fact, you might say it dictates the urgency in Weekes' overall slant and tone as do the myriad influences of the things he heard on the radio as a child. The Lawnmowers will trim the bill as well.
Taj Weekes & Adowa play Thursday, March 11, 8 p.m. at California Brew Haus, 402 Ridge Rd W. $10-$12. 621-1480.
