Zig Zag Power Trio, Vernon Reid, Melvin Gibbs, Will Calhoun

""With this years focus on social and racial justice, who better to both wax poetic and raise the roof than these three titans of the cause. Visionary guitarist Vernon Reid best known as the scorched-earth riffer of alt-metal powerhouse Living Colour founded the Black Rock Coalition, an NYC-based collective committed to promoting the creative freedom and works of black musicians, in 1985 alongside journalist Greg Tate. Reid teams with his Living Colour bandmate, drummer Will Calhoun, and downtown staple Melvin Gibbs (of Rollins Band and Arto Lindsay fame) for some fretboard-shredding protest rock action as Zig Zag Trio."
