Reggae and Caribbean Music Marks Tonight's Summer Sounds Concert

On Middletown's South Green, MOTO will play a blend of traditional roots reggae spiced with contemporary touches and more traditional Caribbean soca material.

The Middletown Commission on the Arts presents their annual Summer Sounds concert series on the City's South Green (Union Park) on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer.

Rain location is the sanctuary of South Congregational Church, directly across the street from the Green on the corner of Main and Pleasant Streets.

Drummer Paul Bozzi, keyboard player and singer Roger Lum You, keyboard player and bassist Guy Wallis, and sax player, singer and ukulele plucker Lyn Ryan McKenna — the band Moto — offer a blend of traditional roots reggae spiced with contemporary touches and more traditional Caribbean soca material.
