The State Theatre

Born in the rural Jamaican village of St. Mary's in 1936, Lee "Scratch" Perry began his surrealist musical odyssey in the late 1950's. He is a towering figure in reggae -- a producer, mixer, and songwriter who has shaped the sound of dub and made reggae music a powerful part of the pop music world. Along with producing some of the most influential acts in reggae history (Bob Marley & The Wailers and The Congo to name but two), Perry's approach to production and dub mixing was breathtakingly avant-garde and audacious -- no one else sounds like him. Perry's innovation has lead to countless albums, a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album for Jamaican ET, and inclusion on Rolling Stone Magazines's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
