Harvey Burgess - Reggae Night: Neon Prophet at the Chicago Bar

In Reggae Night — Neon Prophet at the Chicago Bar, Harvey Burgess has compiled a rich and colorful history of Tucson’s premier reggae band and the iconic venue at which it has been playing for 37 years. He has concretized an oral history which was crying out to be told and provided a voice for the key players to share with the world their stories and what it is that makes Neon Prophet and the Chicago Bar special to them.

This book is a celebration of two Old Pueblo institutions and the characters who have made them what they are today. Long live Neon Prophet. Long live the Chicago Bar.
