Lettuce w/ Steel Pulse & Makua Rothman

In 2022, U.K.-based roots reggae group Steel Pulse graced St. Petersburg twice in one weekend: Once at Jannus Live—where it’ll open for Boston funk band Lettuce on Friday—and again at Reggae Rise Up, alongside Soja and Rebelution. Its latest album Mass Manipulation was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards, but lost out to Koffee’s Rapture. Still, expect to hear a handful of tracks from the 2019 record, as well as more from across Steel Pulse’s 45-year-long career. Makua Rothman—an actual surfer who sings about the beach (like the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson before him)—opens the show.
