Each month, explore some rising stars and local favorites as they perform in intimate venues along MacArthur Boulevard.Junior Toots performs on Friday, June 21 (6-8pm at Degrees Plato Taproom and Bottleshop at 4251 MacArthur Blvd.), during national Make Music day, a special event in the Live in The Laurel concert series. Acclaimed international roots-reggae crooner, Junior Toots, the son of the legendary Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals has been a mainstay in the recorded and live music scene for decades and with an ever-growing fanbase. He’s managed to captivate audiences worldwide with his electrifying high-energy stage performance, soul-filled vocals and socially charged lyricism, along with catchy, singalong Jamaican-rooted original tracks.
The Laurel celebrates Make Music day on June 21, an international celebration of creating and performing music. Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion shares their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.
