Luckily, no injuries and a full house to help him crowd-surf back to the stage un-scarred.The Skatellites from Jamaica, brought cool reggae and ska vibes to a sold out 118 North, including an encore performance by 64 year old original Skatellites members. Incredibly talented newcomer Molly Martin – a Conestoga High School graduate - now residing in Nashville, bringing her raucous country-rock show to a sold out 118 North. Legendary guitarist Richard Lloyd of the 70s punk/new-wave icons Television – in an intimate solo electric performance at 118 North.
