Not only did the local Milwaukee reggae band honor a few of his songs, they lit up the stage with a few of their originals. Any person, unfamiliar with King Solomon, would be surprised to know that the band hails from Milwaukee and not some Caribbean Island. The band combines old school roots, rock conscious reggae with the new evolved form of reggae, dancehall. The King Solomon concert on Sunday night was their first ever headlining event at Summerfest. Since Summerfest 2000, the band has opened for reggae legends, each year, including Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Third World and Ziggy Marley. With each performance, the band has become more complex. Over time, the band has gained a new keyboardist, a saxophone section, women back up singers and an authentic African Ko-Thi drum set. A crowd consisting mostly of high school teenagers waited eagerly for the beginning of the King Solomon headlining performance at the Potawatomi Bingo and Casino stage. The band rocked onto the stage beginning with Toots and the Maytals’, “54-46 That’s My Number,†a classic reggae number which King Solomon performed at Summerfest last year while opening for Steel Pulse. Following the Toots classic, the band jammed out with “Lively Up Yourself,†a class song by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Many Marley fans in the crowd sang along with the band. King Solomon had the crowd in the palm of its hand as they continued the show with “Get Up, Stand Up,†also by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Following the song, lead vocalist Jah Dubhan Tafari asked the crowd, “Do you want to go home?†The crowd emphatically screamed, “NOO!†The band went on to play many King Solomon originals throughout the show, which pleased the crowd. The band strayed from playing songs from their first and major album, “Zion,†which was somewhat disappointing. Many times during the show, two of the band’s women vocalists came on stage to give support to the leads. The greatest part of the show came at the end with Bob Marley’s “War†which the band executed beautifully. Terry Tanger presented a magnificent guitar solo followed by the most amazing part of the show with a small group of African Ko-Thi drummers and dancers. Cory Coleman switched from playing bass to the drums and was joined by guest drummers and dancers sending the crowd into a frenzy for the band’s finale.
