Press Reviews Pittsburgh City Paper on the cover page of A&E August 8 - 15 , 2001. Reveiw written by Ernessa Carter.And I quote "Maragritaville isn't the kind of place you'd expect to find a reggae band every Friday night.Located on the South Side , it's a big place made small by bad design.There's one room for performance, and most of it is taken up by the bar that leaves little space for audience members or a stage , since the one at the front of the bar is little more than a window dais. But Wizdom , considered by many to be among Pittsburgh's best reggae bands, doesn't seem to mind. With all five members and their various instraments jammed up on the tiny stage they PUT ON A SHOW , with lead singer Errol "Wizdom" Williams bringing enough energy to fairly mute the usual barroom chatter. Of course there are the usual Bob Marley covers, and even an inspired reggae remake of a Hall and Oats song, but it is really the original stuff that makes this band. With many in the crowd singing along with such favorites as "Christine" from Wizdom's first albulm,"Innocent Blood"(self-released), it is clear that it is WIZDOM -and not just any reggae cover band- that the audience has come to see. Halfway through their Hall and Oats cover song , the power cuts out. The audience alarmed, the bartenders stop what they're doing , but the band doesn't miss a beat. "Zephania" Willacy keeps on singing in the darkness without the benefit of a microphone, accompanied by Mike "ThePrimeMinister" Orme on drums. The band members who can't play their electrical instraments dance and nod their heads to the music and when the power is up again, they come back in as if they never left. That's when you get the feeling that no matter what they say, music is really what's first on this band's list.
