RNB VS Garage

RNB VS Garage is a live act working across R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, performing at O2 Academy Bristol. The night is a concert in the city's music calendar.

RNB VS Garage is an act whose music spans R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae, bringing together several Black musical traditions in one project. The name pairs R&B with garage, a UK dance genre. Gospel, soul and R&B share roots in African American church and secular music, while reggae developed in Jamaica. Each genre has its own history, so the material draws on several strands of popular music.

The night suits listeners who follow any of these styles and want to hear them in one evening. O2 Academy Bristol, on Frogmore Street, is a venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on live music performances.
