Sun, April 3, Prezident Brown
Harlow’s, 10 p.m., $15
Prezident Brown, a.k.a. Junior Ranking, is in the midst of a West Coast tour and thankfully has added Sacramento to his esteemed list. The man who gained notoriety working on various sound systems nearly 30 years ago is still going strong. Although his last record was 2009’s Common Prosperity, in-the-know deejays will show up en masse to witness one of Jamaica’s true gems. Catch him during an intimate headlining show rather one of those piss gatherings that are inappropriately dubbed as festivals. A virtual king of the sound-system circuit in his native town, Prezident Brown mandates your presence. 2708 J Street, www.prezidentbrownmusic.com.
