Oct. 1: The Alchemystics at Tammany Hall
The Alchemystics
The Alchemystics return to Tammany Hall Oct. 1
Fueled by their passion to explore beyond the edges of traditional musical boundaries and their diverse ethnic and musical backgrounds, the Alchemystics blend reggae, politically infused hip-hop, gritty soul, hard-driving rock and pulsing Jamaican, Cuban and Trinidadian rhythms into an utterly unique and distinctively original new sound. The result is modern-day roots music with global appeal.
Formed by producers and rhythmic earth shakers Demse Zullo (drums and percussion) and Garrett Sawyer (bass) in early 2003, the Alchemystics under their musical direction have grown into an eclectic lineup of talented musicians combining the inspired, masterful vocals of Ras Jahn and Ian-I, the smooth and socially conscious lyricism of Force, the Afro-Caribbean infused percussion of Matthew King and the cosmic keyboards of Jay Metcalf. Their high-energy, fiercely danceable live shows, have gained the band a passionately loyal multi-cultural, multi-generational following throughout New England and beyond.
In May 2011 The Alchemystics released their fourth album, a 17-track studio album that follows up their E.P
and a full length live recording in 2008.
