The Shane is proud to present One Love Livingston on July 25th at 6 pm underneath the Henry E. Blake Pavilion. An evening of music, unity, and cultural celebration returns with One Love Livingston - a world music concert dedicated to promoting harmony through the arts.
Featuring performances by Off in the Woods and internationally acclaimed reggae artist Mighty Mystic and the Hard Roots Movement, this event brings together diverse musical styles for one unforgettable night under the Montana sky.
Off in the Woods is a seven piece Montana band that plays all original music along the stylings of Soul, Funk, Reggae and open tuned acoustic songs with a full horn section, drums, bass, guitar, Hammond organ and aux-percussion/synth. The five original members all grew up in Polson, MT on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Reservation. They have been playing together since the 6th grade but have been touring since 2011. They have played with many National and International touring bands such as George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band, Don Carlos and the Congos, Rusted Root, The English Beats, John Brown's Body, The Polyrhythmics and Pato Banton.
Mighty Mystic is known for blending authentic reggae roots with rock influences, soaring guitar work, powerful messages, and infectious rhythms. His dynamic live performances have earned him a devoted international following and make this a rare concert experience for our region. This brand of “HARD ROOTS” high-energy stage performance has been a magnet for the young enthusiastic reggae fan base. Mystic has released three albums which all debuted in the top 10 on iTunes and Billboard reggae charts (Wake up the World 2010, Concrete World 2014, and The Art of Balance 2016). He has done over twenty national tours and several international tours. Mystic has toured and/or shared the stage with Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse, Damian Marley, Buju Banton, Stephen Marley, Shaggy, SOJA, Collie Buddz, Sean Paul, Lee Scratch Perry, Barrington Levy, The Wailers, John Brown's Body, Luciano, Freddie McGregor, Capleton, Badfish, the Dirty Heads and the list goes on and on and on…
Executive Director Erika Adams says, “Last year’s inaugural One Love Livingston was an absolute blast, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Mighty Mystic back to Livingston. It’s incredibly special to be able to bring artists of this caliber to our community and create an experience that feels both world-class and uniquely Livingston.” Mighty Mystic had the entire Blake Pavilion dancing last year, and with Off in the Woods joining the lineup, this promises to be an unforgettable night. You won't want to miss this one!"
