jolly boys in nyc

January 3rd, 2011

The holiday blizzards and residual slush have us longing for a tropical respite. Get a taste of the Caribbean when the Jolly Boys come to New York. This mainly septuagenarian mento band has been playing since its start at Errol Flynn’s parties in the 40s. They just released a CD of covers featuring an amazing rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab.” (See the youtube video to get a feel for their totally unique style.) There are two chances to catch the band while in NYC, so crack open a Red Stripe, close your eyes, and pretend you’re in Jamaica.
