Yaad Band-A Jamaican reggae band in SW Florida

Even here in little Estero Florida we can jam to good Reggae music.

Went to Gulfcoast Town Center early December to hear a reggae band that we heard advertised in the paper.

The band’s name is Yaad. Wasn’t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the group and heard them play. The singers voice was a mix between Garnet Silk and Bob Marley, throw in a tiny piece of Michael Jackson. They played a little too much tourism music, but they did play a few old school tunes. They slowed down a few Bob Marley songs but the soul and sway were still there. They  threw in a Calypso tune. Even though it was the cruise ship variety (Hot, Hot, Hot) it was still nice to dance to some Calypso music.

All in all, the music was played well, the voice of the lead singer was very good and we danced all night. Speaking of dancing, there were a few dancers but seems the audience wasn’t really the dancing type or they weren’t the reggae type. The band played under a bandstand outside in slightly chill weather with a beautiful starry night.

Here’s a link to their web page if anyone needs a good reggae band in SW Florida.
