Promoting ska & reggae with passion since 2000!!!

About Me


We promote ska & reggae music:
Kingston Beat Productions
We're probably best known for hosting 100+ ska concerts since 2000, primarily at various venues in and around Syracuse, New York. We're always looking for up & coming touring ska bands and local bands of all genres to play our upcoming shows . We also build shows around promising or better known ska bands. Since 2000, we've booked shows with all the bands you see in the left hand column.
Kingston Beat Booking
We've taken our long experience dealing with venues, touring bands and promoters since 1997 and we're now using that to handle bookings for bands. Our first client was Razbari Sumthing , who broke up June 2007. We booked a 6 week national tour across America for them Summer 2006 and a 2 week East Coast tour in January 2007. Please contact us at [email protected] if you're interested in us possibly handling booking for your band.
Kingston Beat Radio Show
Every Sunday night from 6-9pm Eastern Time (GMT-5) on Westcott Radio we broadcast via the web the best in ska, rocksteady & reggae from around the world and around the block. Our goal is to constantly explore the limits of this music! Send your music to us for airplay at: Kingston Beat, 826 Euclid Ave, Syracuse, New York 13210, USA. For more information about the radio show, please contact us via email at [email protected] .
Syracuse Ska Scene
Since 1996, we've been promoting ska & reggae in a broad way with a general interest website and a mailing list for upcoming shows . If you have a show or band that we should be listing, please contact us .
We love ska & reggae music!!!
