Saturday, March 15   8:00 p.m.
Flamingo Cantina   (515 E 6th St)

The Mau Mau Chaplains (named after a dominant 1960’s Kingston street gang) are comprised of an all-star group of musicians, which include founding members of Austin’s reggae bands of the 80’s such as the Lotions, Pressure and I-Tex. Several perform as their country group, StoptheTruck. Moe Monsarrat (bass, vocals), Mike Pankratz (drums, vocals), David Roach (keys, vocals), Boomer Norman (lead guitar), Steve Carter (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Matt Jacobs (keyboards) blend classic roots reggae vocal harmonies, and are driven by tight reggae riddims. All their country inflections sound beautiful, and moving, and remind you of just how closely related roots reggae and roots country are in spirit.
