Roots Meltdown with New Sheriff & Special Guests | 20S Concerts at Truro Vineyards

Presented by Twenty Summers at Truro Vineyards + South Hollow Spirits

From early roots to rockers, deep dub, rub-a-dub and early Dancehall, New Sheriff (Andrew Sloan)  brings the heavyweight sounds of Jamaica, curated from his personal collection of over 6000 pieces. All vinyl. All ways. With 25 years of collecting and more than a decade immersed in the business of Jamaican music, New Sheriff has a deep knowledge of the history of Jamaican music from Studio One and Treasure Isle in the 60s to the digital takeover of the late 80s.

“I am blessed with a life's work of amazing music from the island of Jamaica. Music that was never meant to be streamed or downloaded, but that must be played and enjoyed in its original vinyl format with all its snaps, crackles and pops.”

First exposed to the sounds of Jamaica working at RAS Records in Washington in the early 90s, New Sheriff spent most of that decade traveling the world as tour manager with Israel Vibration and the Roots Radics Band.  Sharing stages with all the top international bands from Jamaica, England, and Europe, and buying records.  In 2000, he moved to Miami to work with the producer Joe Gibbs for two years and continued to build his knowledge of the history of Jamaican music and grow his sound with more than a dozen trips to Kingston.

Jon Joly is a local percussionist and hand drummer, and a member of the Shango Axe.
