Get ready for a night of authentic roots reggae as 10 Ft Ganja Plant marks their monumental 25th anniversary at the renowned Anchor Rock Club in Atlantic City. This special event, presented by WHAGWAAN CULTURE, promises an unforgettable evening with the legendary band, alongside special guests Sensamotion and Dubbest, and featuring mixing by the iconic Scientist.
Doors open at 7:00 pm, with the show kicking off at 8:00 pm for an 18+ audience at Anchor Rock Club, located at 247 S New York Avenue. This is more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of a quarter-century of pure reggae vibes from a band born from a genuine love for the genre.
10 Ft Ganja Plant’s journey began in the summer of 1999, fueled by a shared passion for roots reggae and a desire to create music reminiscent of the classics. Emerging from late-night jam sessions at Mang Studio, which served as a creative hub for the band members, their sound quickly materialized. These sessions, often punctuated by rooftop breaks to catch fresh air and inspiration, resulted in a raw and authentic reggae sound that resonated deeply with the band and their growing fanbase.
Their debut album, “Presents,” dropped in 2000 on I-Town Records, setting the stage for a prolific career. Continuing their creative streak, the band’s connection with NYC’s underground label ROIR! (Reach Out International Records) broadened their reach, starting with the release of “Hillside Airstrip” in 2001. Anchor Rock Club attendees can expect to hear tracks that span their impressive discography, reflecting the evolution of their sound while staying true to their roots reggae foundation.
Through the years, 10 Ft Ganja Plant has remained dedicated to the spirit of Jamaican music pioneers, those uncredited heroes who laid the groundwork for the genre. This dedication is reflected in their music, particularly in albums like “Midnight Landing” (2003) and “Bass Chalice” (2005), which further solidified their commitment to the heavy basslines, powerful drum rhythms, and captivating melodies characteristic of 70s Jamaican reggae.
Don’t miss this chance to experience the legacy of 10 Ft Ganja Plant live at Anchor Rock Club. It’s set to be an electrifying night celebrating 25 years of reggae music, showcasing why Anchor Rock Club remains a premier destination for live music enthusiasts in Atlantic City. Prepare for an immersive reggae experience with 10 Ft Ganja Plant, Sensamotion, Dubbest, and the masterful mixing of Scientist – a night that will resonate long after the final encore at Anchor Rock Club.
