About Mark Wonder:


Although Jamaica has no shortage of roots singers, Kingston's Mark Wonder (b. Mark Andrew Thompson) must not go unnoticed. His mother loved soul singers which greatly influenced him and in certain circles, he was expected to fill the void left by Garnett Silk. Wonder's first singles were "Got the Loving That You Want" and "Don't Pressure Me" for the veteran producer Jack Scorpio. Others releases followed soon for many other producers including King Jammy, Blue Mountain, and Jahmaik from Trinity Records. His first album, "Sign of the Times" [Zola & Zola, 1996] was released in 1996, followed by "Jeremiah" for producer Milton Moore [Soundproof, 1998]. A live album in Switzerland [Trinity, 2001] followed suit, and his most recent album "Break the Ice" [Red Bridge, 2005] showcases his talent well.

About Reggae Jamdown


Its been said that on a Friday afternoon in Humboldt County, you do not even need a radio to hear the sounds of Reggae music. That is because a majority of the radios that are on, are tuned into the "Reggae Jamdown." For two hours, positive vibrations and a continuous mix of Roots, Dub, and Dancehall flow from the university campus to reggae lovers near and far via airwaves and internet.



Despite the geographically isolated location, Humboldt County has a relationship with Reggae music that runs as deep as the roots of the ancient Redwood trees that surround the area. The region hosts one of the most well respected Reggae music festivals outside of Jamaica, and is an essential stop for musicians touring the West Coast throughout the year. 



The "Reggae Jamdown" comes to BigUpRadio.com from the fertile hills and valleys of Northern California built on a tradition of community supported radio and an authentic love for Reggae music. Look forward to starting your week with big tunes from past, present, and future mixed by DJ Dub Cowboy and special guests.


The "Reggae Jamdown" airs MONDAYS at 3am, 9am, 3pm, and 9pm EDT onBigUpRadio.com Roots
