Join us for our first Reggae Night of the season, featuring Maine’s most prolific reggae band, Royal Hammer!

Royal Hammer is a seven-piece roots reggae group from Portland, Maine. Heavily influenced by Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, and Roots Radics, Royal Hammer takes pride in the authenticity of their sound. Michael Taylor (The Awesome, Rustic Overtones) is backed-up by a heavy rhythm section including Gary Gemetti (Rustic Overtones) on drums, Tyler Quist (Jaw Gems) on keys, and bass player Stu Mahan (Nat Osbourne Band, London Souls), with Ryan Zoidis (Rustic Overtones, Soulive) and Lucas Desmond (Model Airplane) on saxes, and new addition Jamie Bifulco on trombone. Royal Hammer’s grooves are deep and infectious. Royal Hammer has shared the stage with reggae legends Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Barrington Levy and has backed up international reggae artists Marty Dread and Legendary Glen DaCosta of Zap Pow and the Wailers. Royal Hammer recently released their debut album ‘My Bubble’.

What does “General Admission” mean?

For General Admission events, all theater seats are removed from the floor to create an open space, with cocktail tables and barstools added for a more relaxed atmosphere. The number of tables and stools varies depending on the show and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Theater seating in the balcony will remain in place and is also first come, first serve. Please contact info@vinhillmusic.com for any accessibility accommodations.
