Patrick Brown on the KCRUF’s new website and this summer’s reggae happenings

Yesterday, the official Kansas City Reggae Uprising Festival website launched. Run by the organizers of the festival, it will be a clearinghouse for all things about the festival and bands who play it, as well “as a simple blog forum for Kansas City reggae fans to share their own pictures, videos and comments,” according to Patrick Brown.

The site’s launch featured the exclusive debut of the video for “Black Stick Rock,” from the Blue Riddim Band’s Tribute album, which was shot and directed by Brown. The man’s got so much going on, we figured he’d be the brain we needed to pick about upcoming details for the third festival, and other things KCRUF-related.
