About this site
Built by hand, on purpose
TexasReggae.org started as a Geocities page in the late nineties, a single sheet of links saying who was playing where in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. It grew into the state's reggae bulletin board: radio guide, artist directory, top ten, festival dates.
This is that site, rebuilt. The sections are the same. The listings are read and typed in by a person, one at a time. Nothing here is scraped, and nothing is sponsored.
Who keeps it
DJ-RJ
Reggae Evolution
KAZI 88.7 FM · Austin
RJ Johnson has hosted Reggae Evolution on KAZI since the late eighties, alternating Tuesdays from 7 to 10 PM. The show leans on positive modern roots and culture, mostly of Jamaican origin, with Texas artists in the mix whenever they put something out.
He also plays drums and sings around Austin, and has spent years behind the board for other people's records and live sets. The guide you are reading is what he does between all of that.
How it stays current
Promoters, venues, selectors and fans send what they know. Each tip is checked before it goes on the board. Recurring nights stay listed until they stop; one-off shows come down after they happen.
If something on this site is wrong, that is worth an email too. A listing with the wrong night is worse than no listing.
