Live in The Laurel: Junior Toots & Make Music Day

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Live in The Laurel (LITL) free concert series promises a great season of outstanding locally-based live music and homegrown fun in The Laurel. Each month, explore some rising stars and local favorites as they perform in intimate venues along MacArthur Boulevard.

Acclaimed international roots-reggae crooner, Junior Toots, the son of the legendary Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals has been a mainstay in the recorded and live music scene for decades and with an ever-growing fanbase. He’s managed to captivate audiences worldwide with his electrifying high-energy stage performance, soul-filled vocals and socially charged lyricism, along with catchy, singalong Jamaican-rooted original tracks. @juniortoots

The Laurel celebrates Make Music day on June 21, an international celebration of creating and performing music. Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician – young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion shares their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers. All of it is free and open to the public.
