Generally a protest-minded Rastafarian outfit, Steel Pulse started out playing authentic roots reggae with touches of jazz and Latin music in 1975 in ghetto area of Birmingham, England. Considered one of Britain's greatest reggae bands, their 1978 debut, Handsworth Revolution, is still regarded by many critics as a landmark and a high point of British reggae. With a career spanning over 30 years, what other reggae group can say they've opened for The Police and The Clash and XTC, won several Grammys, and performed at Bill Clinton's inaugural celebration? Vermont's own Pulse Prophets open the show.
