Peter Tosh Birthday Celebration

Out Of Many One Productions presents the Peter Tosh Birthday Celebration on Sunday, October 19 on what would have been Peter Tosh’s 80th birthday. This 38th installment of this Bay Area tradition will be held at Ashkenaz in Berkeley and will feature Live Music, Rare Films, Nyabinghi Drumming and more.

Attendees will enjoy rare footage of Peter Tosh’s early life. Live music will be provided by Jahdan Blakkamoore, Sampalue, Rastareens, and Jahwarri, all backed by The Brickyard Band.

The host of the evening is local celebrity radio DJ Spliff Skankin who will be spinning starting at 6pm.

The Out Of Many One Nyabinghi Drummers will also be performing ceremonial Rastafarian drumming and chanting.

Peter Tosh, the “Stepping Razor”, was a Rastafarian, and in keeping with his beliefs, the entire event will be performed by Rastafarian practitioners. The public is welcome to come and enjoy this pure “Rasta” ceremony.

This event is produced by Carl T. He is Peter Tosh’s cousin and grew up with him as well as toured with Tosh as his cook. He says, “We have celebrated Peter Tosh’s birthday one way or the other since his passing in 1987. Some of the celebrations have been huge concerts and others were more intimate.
