JaSkaMon concert puts Earth Day in the Spotlight

Combining Americana-themed songs and the upbeat Caribbean beats of reggae, ska and soul calypso, JaSkaMon will celebrate Earth Day and the “420” holiday at the Spotlight Event Center in Lincoln City this Saturday, April 20.

The concert will open with the Uncommon Denominators, a power trio that brings you Motown, soul and rock n' roll, and include a free beverage with ticket, trivia prizes, snacks and lots of dancing.

JaSkaMon, headed by Oregon Coast local and main songwriter Barry Klusman, are known for putting on an annual Bob Marley birthday tribute in February.

For the past 11 years the group has produced eight albums and countless shows around the Northwest, and are presently busy with recording a ninth album, "Salutations."

"We are excited to debut this Johnnie Osborn song, ‘Truths and Rights,’ the ultimate classic reggae tune,” Klusman said, “as well as some of our environmental and cannabis themed tunes at the concert.”

The event begins at 7 pm at the Spotlight Event Center, located in the Lighthouse Mall at 4157 NW Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. Tickets are $10 at the door. For more information, go to jaskamon.com.
