Reggae sensation Jordan T jams Saturday at Carson City's outdoor Levitt AMP concert
The Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series presented by The Change Companies began with a full house last week and the party will continue this Saturday, June 29 at the Brewery Arts Center with reggae sensation Jordan T. So grab your family, friends and neighbors and get ready to experience the power of free, live music to bring our community together.
Sponsored in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a national funder of creative placemaking that empowers communities to inject new life into underused public spaces through free, outdoor concerts, the Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series will present 10 free, family-friendly concerts to the public this summer at The Change Companies stage at the Brewery Arts Center.
The series will feature a diverse lineup of high-caliber talent spanning genres like Rockabilly, Zydeco, Blues and Mariachi.
Carson City Off-Road with Epic Rides is happening this weekend as well so we kicking off the show a bit later with Stonewood at 7:30 p.m. and headliner Jordan T will take the stage at 8:30. With his velvet vocals and island vibes, global reggae sensation Jordan T creates uplifting songs that pair perfectly with warm summer nights.
Jordan T’s musical career began in Maui, where he played with his own local band and occasionally stepped in as a guitar player for touring reggae bands like Maoli and Katchafire. With the help of his growing fanbase, Jordan T was able to fund his debut album Bridges with the Vibes in 2017. Go here to watch Jordan T in action or see below.
Due to the outpouring of fan support, he ended up with a surplus — which he donated to Habitat for Humanity to create houses for Nicaraguans in need. With invitations to perform in festivals across the globe — like Rototom Sunsplash (Spain), Riddu Riddu Festival (Norway), Chiemsee Summer (Germany), SummerJam (Germany), Reggae Sun Ska Fest (France) and California Roots Festival (United States) — Jordan T’s popularity is steadily growing, now with over 2.5 million streams on Spotify alone. As a rising star, he has already shared the stage with artists such as Fiji, Katchafire, Jimmy Cliff, Damien Marley, Cambell (UB40), Bobby McFerrin and many more.
Also scheduled to perform are The Novelists on July 6 and co-headlining with The Novelists is L.A. Vocalist Alex Nester; The Mother Hips on July 13, Grammy winner, Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience on July 20; Josh Hoyer and Remember Jones on July 27, Grammy winners Flor de Toloache on August 3; Dead Winter Carpenters on Aug. 10, Wicked Tinkers on Aug. 17; and The Brevet on Aug. 24.
The public is invited to bring their own picnics, blankets and lawn chairs to the concerts, which hase an open setting. There will be food trucks, drink vendors and kids activities at every concert. The Levitt AMP concert series is located at 449 West King Street at the corner of King and Minnesota Streets. Admission is free.

Last December, Carson City was named one of 18 small to mid-sized towns and cities across America to win a Levitt AMP Grant Award of $25K in matching funds to present a free concert series at what is now, The Change Companies stage in 2019. The Brewery Arts Center submitted the Levitt AMP proposal and is presenting the concert series.
In an effort to inspire and engage communities across the country around the power of creative placemaking, the Levitt Foundation invited the public to choose the Top 25 finalists through online voting.
