The Big Takeover, a seven-piece band led by Jamaican-born singer Nee Nee Rushie, blends reggae, rocksteady, and ska with a modern sensibility. Reverent to the classic sounds of Jamaican pop, they infuse their music with complex arrangements and hooks that echo Motown and contemporary retro soul. Known for their rigorous performing schedule, they've earned accolades from NPR and large festival crowds, including a standout performance at Omaha’s Jazz on the Green. With a new cover of Sophia George’s “Girlie Girlie,” their evolving sound continues to resonate across genres.
