The Big Takeover @ Bearsville Theater

Led by the dynamic Jamaican-born vocalist and lyricist Nee Nee Rushie, this seven-piece ensemble from New York, The Big Takeover, presents an original sound deeply rooted in the vibrant genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, and ska. With a nod to icons like Desmond Dekker, they honor the traditional while also embracing a progressive spirit, effortlessly blending global influences into their music. Their intricate arrangements and catchy hooks resonate with the timeless essence of Motown and the contemporary flair of retro soul and R&B revivalism.

“Led by the powerhouse, Jamaican-born singer and songwriter NeeNee Rushie, The Big Takeover’s horn-powered global blend reveals deep fluency in reggae and world music, hints of soul and Motown, and their own infectious brand of pop classicism.” — John Burdick
