Scores Sports Bar and Grille,
the new music venue in Keene, NH
sets up a reggae rock triple threat for
their first live music show with Fear
Nuttin’ Band, The Movement and
Natty Vibes on Saturday, November
9th.
“We did a complete 180 with
the place,” said co-owner Paul Haley
of his new sports bar and music
venue, previously The Railroad, in
downtown Keene. Scores has been
open about a month with DJ sets on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
“We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback and have had incredibly steady
happy hours,” he said.
Now they’re ready to take the
next step and bring in the live music.
That was the plan since Haley and
other co-owner Ben Fournier bought
the place. “There’s an incredible
draw for live music in Keene,” Haley
said. “Keene State College has a
great music department and a lot of
people want to see great bands at a
real music venue.” Scores has a
back room with a full size stage,
sound system, lights and dance floor.
Springfield, MA based Fear
Nuttin Band (FNB), now popular in
Keene after several successful shows
at McCue’s, brings their current touring line-up back to NH. “We just had
show three of a 14 show tour in Orlando,” said FNB guitarist Chris
Regan. And we’re ready to bring the
warm weather back up the east coast
with us.” Learn more about FNB at

FNB started their tour with The
Movement (Philadelphia) and Natty
Vibes (Hawaii) at the California Roots
(Carolina Sessions) music festival in
Wilmington, NC. At the Cali Roots
show FNB welcomed on stage SOJA
members to collaborate with them on
a song. Later on during The
Movement set, FNB singer Roosta
got on stage with to rock the microphone. Then while SOJA was performing Regan, Roosta and other
FNB singer Prowla joined the band
on stage to perform SOJA’s song “Be
Aware” and jam into FNB’s song “Beware of Dem.” Regan said, “The
three of us bands go back a long
way, so whenever we’re in the same
place we like to do some mixing and
mashing and jamming out together.”
This is the first time in NH for
The Movement and Natty Vibes.
“Each of the bands bring a different
style of reggae that keeps the whole
show diverse and hypes the crowd all
night long,” said Natty Vibes bassist
Jehua Evans. “We’ve been getting
awesome responses and it’s partially
due to the camaraderie of the bands.”
