The Christmas City is going to get a dose of rhythm Thursday as St. John's premier reggae band, Inner Visions, takes the stage at Noon, part of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania's week-long Musikfest.
"This huge festival is the bomb!," the band wrote on their Facebook page. "Had (us) a few years back, for a day, and requested us back for two years straight! By popular demand!"
Meanwhile, the band's annual summer tour has had the group at the Club Helsinki in the Berkshire mountains, at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ, and Crosstown Station in Kansas City, Mo.
The band really liked the Asbury Park date, playing with other groups. "Was great to hear Dub Proof and Randomtest reggae bands do their thing too! Taking a few hours of rest before heading Upstate to Hudson NY at Club Helsinki. Should be a continuation of the madness we have been accustomed to with the awesome vibes there."

On June 19th, Inner Visions was in Chicago in my old neighborhood at The Wild Hare. As usual they started late and lit up the crowd. The acoustics were just like Fred’s. My ears were ringing for a week. If you can see them on the East Coast don’t miss the show.
Speaking of ‘old neighborhoods’, Bethlehem is the home town of the Inquiring Iguana. Was there a week ago, and they were gearing up for the biggest and best ‘Fest ever.
