Los Angeles, CA (September 12, 2013) - The 29th Annual Twilight Concert Series, Presented by Myspace, has been the best yet, with record-breaking attendance each week and incredible performances at the iconic venue. This week will culminate the musical summer with Reggae music's reigning godfather, Jimmy Cliff, with The Delirians and Ethan Tucker as support.

Grammy-winning musician, actor, singer, songwriter, producer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Jimmy Cliff, also known as the godfather to reggae music, recently released his first studio album in seven years entitled REBIRTH. While REBIRTH is named after what Cliff perceives as his own artistic revival, the reggae pioneer has never really been away, working with a who's-who of other rock legends over the years, including the Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello and Annie Lennox, his songs covered by the likes of Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Cher, New Order and Fiona Apple.

The Delirians are the young lions of a resurgent Southern California reggae & ska scene. They have released several critically-acclaimed tracks since their beginning in 2007, and have toured with Jimmy Cliff, Toots & The Maytals, Inner Circle and the Skatalites. Ethan Tucker has been performing and recording since the age of 16, Tucker has honed his unique blend of acoustic-roots, soul, blues, and reggae to independently release two albums, and was selected as the opening act on Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers Crossed" tour.

The Twilight Concert Series has showcased astounding performers during the summer-long festival. KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" host, Jason Bentley called this series "the best program they have ever had." Reflecting Myspace's focus on promoting both emerging and established artists, this year's concert series featured an eclectic array of artists ranging from emerging stars such as New Orleans' Trombone Shorty, LA punk duo No Age and the Grammy-nominated artist Meshell Ndegeocello.
