CULTIVATED MIND, a reggae, dub, and jazz combo from the Hampton Roads area, will appear live at Center Street Grill on January 18. They will be entertaining the Burg with socially-conscious and infectious originals along with medleys of old reggae classics, dub versions of classic soul and blues songs. Their sound is infectious and not to be missed!
