MOJA Dance Party
October 5 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Festival Hall
The Dubplates, a reggae/dancehall riddim band born and raised in Charleston, draws much of its identity from the diversity of both its members and its fanbase.
Performing with anywhere between seven and 10 members, the Dubplates are a combination of traditional Jamaican Patwah and Lowcountry pride. Charleston native Dave “Big Hair” Brisacher started the band with his business partner “Daddy” Brady Waggoner back in 2002 as Dub Island Sound System.
Somewhere between 2007 and 2008, the band brought in a full horn section, a few more vocalists and percussionists, and became the Dubplates.
