Free Maxi Priest Concert at Solé East

The reggae artist Maxi Priest will give a free concert poolside at The Backyard Restaurant at Solé East Resort in Montauk on Saturday, July 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The Backyard Restaurant at Solé East is helmed by executive chef Adam Pitré, and offers a fun, lively and fresh concept, focusing on local and sustainable seasonal cuisine with a Mediterranean influence. The outdoor space has been conceived as a Hamptons' sanctuary—a bit like relaxing in a backyard—with tables placed beside beautiful gardens and lush lawn surrounding a pool.  

Maxi Priest hails from South London where he is famous for his R & B and Soul infused reggae. His music is much beloved by fans of other reggae greats such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals and Dennis Brown.

He has been a fixture on the South London music scene since the early 80s. He had recorded the single ‘Should I’ which topped the charts at number 1 before signing with Virgin Records and the release of his debut LP ‘In the Springtime’ in 1985.

Maxi is set to release ‘Maximum Collection,’ a new recording of some of his best loved tracks. It is dedicated to the memory of his mother and father, and former managers Erskine Thompson and Zola Burse. Maxi is also putting the finishing touches on a brand new release, ‘Nothing But Trouble.'
