New Jersey's King Django (born Jeff Baker) has been kicking around the NYC underground ska/reggae scene since the mid-1980s, and has an impressive resume to prove it. The singer, songwriter, emcee and multi-instrumentalist has toured internationally as a solo artist, fronted NYC bands Skinnerbox and Stubborn All Stars, played trombone for the likes of Rancid, The Toasters, and Murphy's Law, recorded with The Slackers and Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones among many others, started his own label (Stubborn Records), and opened his own boutique studio, Version City, where he produces and engineer multi-artist collections. He stops through town on his "Version City" tour of ska, rocksteady, soul, dancehall and dub acts. Warming up the stage is local eight-piece The Apes, which features players from Magadog, Rude Squad, and Gwan Massive; and The Snail and Matt Mcleod.
