BUSHMAN Manchester: Jamaica born reggae artist BUSHMAN is heading to Manchester on July 16 to kick off what’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting UK tour runs of the summer. He’s rolling out “Reggae In Nashville” on May 29, a track that showcases exactly what he’s been building throughout his career: genuine reggae music that actually speaks to people’s lives.
Stand Out (BUSHMAN Manchester)
What makes BUSHMAN stand out in a crowded reggae landscape is his refusal to make things complicated. He’s drawing from the foundation laid down by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, but he’s not just recycling their influence. Instead, he’s using that legacy as a springboard to create something with real weight. The guy makes music for families, for households, for moments that actually matter. Classic reggae with a contemporary edge that doesn’t feel forced or disconnected from what reggae is supposed to be about.
“This new single represents what I do as an artist,” BUSHMAN says about the upcoming release. “I want people to hear reggae that speaks to real life, that brings families together, and that doesn’t lose sight of what matters.” You can hear that philosophy throughout his work. Social commentary without the preachy vibe. Music that engages without talking down to anyone
What to Expect This Summer (BUSHMAN Manchester)
The Manchester show at Band on the Wall is just the beginning. BUSHMAN’s putting together a full UK run that includes stops in London at Jazz Cafe on July 23 and the Heritage Festival down in Berkshire on July 26. There’s also a date locked in for Rototom Spain on August 21, with more announcements coming over the next few weeks.
On stage, BUSHMAN brings a complete package. Harmony singers Latoya Morgan and Sherida Sharpe blend vocals with him while the Grassroots Band drives everything forward. His team, including executive manager Vanessa Barnes-Duncan, has built something cohesive that translates the recorded material into a live experience worth showing up for.
If you’ve been looking for reggae that feels connected to actual life rather than some nostalgic throwback, this is worth catching. You can grab tickets now through official channels, or get in touch with Craig Brown at [email protected] for more details about availability and upcoming tour announcements.
