Grammy-winning reggae legend, Lee “Scratch” Perry, will play a rare, intimate New York concert at Gramercy Theatre on Thursday, May 17th at 8pm.

His music was a heavy influence on artists for generations to come, particularly on Bob Marley, and on the famed dub scientist, The Mad Professor, but also on notable non-Jamaican acts like The Clash and The Beastie Boys.
