Mystic Bowie’s Talking Dreads to make Sellersville Theater debut

Mystic Bowie’s Talking Dreads are coming to Sellervsille Theater on Saturday, for the very first time.

Mystic Bowie, aka the “Head Dread,” takes the Sellersville Theater stage, re-imagining and infusing fresh life into the Talking Heads’ classic catalog with his high octane mix of roots reggae, ska and lover’s rock (aka “romantic reggae”).

The charismatic Jamaican-born singer and performer has electrified audiences at more than 300 shows across North America – spinning the heads of initially skeptical Talking Heads fans, and getting everyone else grooving along to the infectious, joyous rhythms and jubilant spirit of his native island.

“Talking Dreads is much more than a cover band,” Bowie said. “I am very much drawing on my own musical culture and history to make these amazing songs my own, while at the same time preserving the integrity of the Talking Heads’ songs. I’ve always felt that reggae’s dance-inspiring, feel good vibe is universal, as are many of the band’s songs...”

Show time is 8 p.m. Visit the Sellersville Theater online, at the box office, 24 W. Temple Ave., Sellersville, or call 215-257-5808.
