The Big Takeover Concert History

The Big Takeover, a reggae/ska/roots band, is enjoying a very triumphant first year. September 2008 marked the release of their debut album, "Following Too Close," (Takeover Productions), as well as exciting performance opportunities. The sextet opened for Bob Marley's former backup band, The Waliers, at the Chance in Poughkeepsie; and for Sam Kininger, saxophonist of Soulive, at the Red Square in Albany. Formed in December 2007, The Big Takeover draws enthusiastic audiences with their lively shows and memorable performances.
