Pacific Amphitheatre | Aug 16
OC Fair Summer Concert Series
Hailing from Birmingham, England, Steel Pulse emerged in 1975 with music that provokes thought toward global unification. Songs like “Chant a Psalm” have landed on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Best Songs of the 1980s list, and the six-time Grammy-nominated group won the Grammy for Best Reggae Album for “Babylon the Bandit.”
Steel Pulse songs and lyrics continue to engage controversial topics of racial injustice and human rights on a global scale, with themes as potent and relevant today as they were at the beginning of their career. Lead singer and guitarist David Hinds’ creativity and visionary views are revealed through inspiring compositions that capture the effects of the African diaspora. As reggae revolutionaries, Steel Pulse is revered by the younger generation of artists and remains a powerhouse on stages around the globe.
