We are arriving Sat. Feb. 22 around 6pm. Any good music that nite? Is the Sea Star Reggae Show good or corny? We are fun loving late 40's that like good food and reggae music. Recommendations for food and fun Saturday night arrival?

If your staying at banana shout, seastar is not far(5 min cab) and it is very good.
The food at seastar is very good and the staff are excellent. The music.....corny=yes. House band playing Marley music puts the T in tourist experience at Disney land. I would still suggest going since very few people complain about the music and nobody picks on the food. Watch one of the webcast from there.
My wife and I always make a point to go to Seastar on Saturday night. Once the music stops at Ricks the music starts up at Seastar and you can hear it from the east. My wife and I stay across the street from Banana Shout. Soon as the sun is about to go down we just walk down the street to Seastar (5min walk). Buffet is good with rice and peas, jerk chicken, snapper, bread rolls, pasta, free water and lemon aid. There are several different artists but we enjoy Stevie West, Sasanya, and the African Drummers. Wait staff is fantastic.
Linston is coming to Seastar after your pickup for Miss G's family reunion. If you need a ride he'll bring you. First drink is on me!Quote:

Steven West has true talent... he writes & performs originals, has albums full of great originals. He sounds like Jimmy Cliff and typically comes on first.
From there... I'll just say we dont last long.... at all.
Note to seastar if Stephen West played all night or even on another night and played a real show all night- I would certainly stay and buy beverages ALL NIGHT. Just tossing that out there...
Totally agree with what Murph says. We also would love to come for dinner (not buffet) on another night when it is all about Stephen.
I have to say I am all seastared out for Saturday nights, although I still like to go other times to eat and drink. I went to Boubon Beach last Saturday and the live reggae was great and it was free the place was packed.
I'll second it as well. Sasanya is amazing, however the set is not what I really want to hear while in Jamaica.Quote:

In addition to being a GENUINE musical talent, he has the kindest soul of ANYONE I have ever met in Jamaica- and probably anywhere in the world. We put on some John Lennon one afternoon and to see the expressions on his face as he was soaking up the lyrics was something to behold. He LOVES to experience what other music turns people on, and make them think and feel and share HIS favorites too. I love that about music - it tears down barriers and lets us find common ground. IT IS WHY WE TRAVEL- ESPECIALLY TO JAMAICA.
The Jimmy Cliff comparison was high and well deserved praise.
DO go to Seastar. Stephen West, the Drummers and Dancers are spectacular. It is a fantastic scene, and given you are arriving on Saturday, you will meet lots of people with advice for you for the rest of your stay. Some of the advice may even be good :p
As stated here, by the time Seastar is winding down, there are other opportunities for great music elsewhere just firing up.
Have a blast, in whatever you decide to do.
