WM-4.jump1

Haile Blackman goes aerial in the band’s encore.

 

by TImothy Rutt

There were a lot of empty seats at the Farnsworth Park Summer Concert series Saturday night — because everyone was crowding the dance floor.  They couldn’t help it — it was Upstream!

Back for their third year in a row, the group that hails from Trinidad/Tobago (altho’ bandleader Haile Blackman lives in Pasadena now) got the crowd up and dancing with reggae and calypso favorites and originals.

If you missed them — well, they’re odds-on favorites for returning next year.

More photos after the jump.

 

WM-3.haille1

Upstream’s Haile Blackman was the consummate showman Saturday night.

 

 

WM-1.congaline

You know it’s a party when the audience spontaneously forms a conga line.
