Wish you could relive that amazing time when flannels and Docs were all the rage and the music was a little grungier?!
Brisk will help take you back in time to get your 90’s-2000’s fix with all the classic bangers! We’ll pay tribute to the classics that defined grunge, alternative, emo & pop punk while mixing in deep cuts from the one hit wonders.
So whether it’s a blue Monday, Friday and you’re in love or 3AM and you feel like a Zombie, do yourself a favor and grab your friends (even the teenage dirtbags and creeps) and drive to the nearest Brisk show and sing your hearts out!

Fridays After Five – Mighty Joshua with Ysa
Friday, August 21 – 5:30 – 8:30 Ting Pavilion
Independent Reggae Artist Mighty Joshua engages audiences by opening minds and activating bodies through song. Conscious lyrics flow freely to create distinctive refrains that pulse with pride against rhythms rooted in percussion. His soulful exploration in the evolution of sound creates an expression of reggae for the modern day.
Mighty Joshua plays in a multitude of arrangements including high energy live performances with support of his back-up band and at times an acoustic configuration. He has performed at top tier music festivals LOCKN’, MOJA, Austin Reggae Fest, Camp Barefoot, and Capital Fringe Fest. From mountain top concerts to intimate club gigs, he invites listeners of all ages to experience the spirit of reggae.
MJ’s musical roots in African percussion led to experimenting with sound and rhythm. Soon after exposure to Djembe and Djun Djun drums they became a part of his playing repertoire which also includes the Didgeridoo. Mighty Joshua has opened for several internationally acclaimed reggae acts including Steel Pulse, Culture w/ Kenyatta Hill, Akae Beka, the Meditations, the Itals, and Ziggy Marley.
