When you plan your Vail, Colorado vacation, think about the concerts and performances you can enjoy in this Rocky Mountain setting. On Tuesday, August 18 at 6:30pm, Eek-A-Mouse will bring his original style to Beaver Creek. More than a quarter century of recording, global touring and residency in the suburbs of Irvine have hardly changed the dancehall godfather’s husky Kingston patois. His “original style” includes elements of “sing-jaying,” an early form of toasting with boastful catch phrases, singing and DJ work, mixed with funky vocal gymnastics and effects. Eek’s contribution to the genre was a percussive, nasally vocal style, and his talent for using the voice as a musical instrument moved The Boston Globe to call him “the Al Jarreau of reggae.” Before or after the concert, you might want to explore.
