Multi-platinum performer Bailey Zimmerman is about as ‘new country’ as the genre can get.

Burning Spear
When: June 14, 7 p.m.
Where: Commodore Ballroom, 868 Granville St.
Tickets/info: livenation.ca
Along with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear is one of the most important Rastafarian reggae music stars of all time. Born Winston Rodney in Jamaica in 1945, the 81 year-old vocalist dropped his debut in 1969 after Marley urged him to seek out legendary producer Coxsone Dodd and try to record for his Studio One label. Today, he is one of the few remaining original reggae acts still touring. Killer live show, too.
