But Yellowman's knack for performing, and love of reggae and dancehall music eventually won him acclaim as a young man, not to mention a contract with Columbia Records in 1981.

NEW HAVEN -- Yellowman, the striking, albino, constantly-touring king of reggae dancehall music, returns to Toad's Place with his Sagittarius Band Tuesday to bring some riddim to Connecticut summer.

In the early eighties, after the death of Bob Marley, reggae fans were impatient for a new star. King Yellowman rose to the throne, embodying the rebel style and roots-reggae sound of his predecessor.

From Reggae icon Yellowman, to alt rock group Band of Horses, to Taylor Swift tributes, there's plenty of great concerts to check out in Westchester this summer, no matter what your favorite genre.

This event is a roots reggae all-star lineup with iconic headliner performers like Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse , Ky-Mani Marley , Barrington Levy, Yellowman, and Don Carlos on main Mountain Stage.
