  • Smoke and Mirrors Sound System

    Smoke and Mirrors Sound System came about as a  response to the Covid Lockdown. John Roy (Unsteady/ English Beat) was stuck in his closed music rental shop with  no prospect of a show.  
    He took scraps of ideas he’d sequenced and with the idle  hours, he began forming songs. John reached out to dozens  of musicians he’d met touring over the decades and came up  with multiple albums’ worth of material, including his favorite  covers from his youth.  
    Songs are reimagined as reggae/ska/rocksteady/dub to  give them a toe-tapping, head-bobbing groove.  Immediately after live music was allowed to reemerge, John  gathered together his favorite players in San Diego, Tijuana  and Los Angeles touring the imaginary to life!  
    Check out a set, packed with classics and originals to fill the dance floor.
