Each & every Wednesday night See-I packs the Eighteenth Street Lounge to the rafters and the vibes are thick! Positive roots reggae for real. 4 of the 8 members of See-I are in Thievery Corporation, and you can count on them to do a Thievery song or two in their sets. The entire band is highly talented and its members play in a number of other groups including Thunderball, Fort Knox Five, All Mighty Senators, Sin Miedo, Nayas, Soul Brazil, International Velvet and others. See-I have been on the road lately playing gigs in NYC, Baltimore, DC, the 2007 Virgin Festival and Artscape Festival. If you can't make it out on Wednesdays or its too crowded for you then, this is your chance to catch the See-I positivity live and direct!
