Named after a suspiciously squinty-eyed character in the Scooby-Doo cartoons, pop-reggae star Shaggy has mostly been doing collaborative songs over the past few years, with no new studio album to promote at the Music Box on September 5. Now closing in on his late 30s, not much has changed for the Jamaican-American singer since 1996’s Boombastic scored his only Grammy award, for Best Reggae Album (a category he was nominated in, but lost, four more times between 2006 and 2015). He has plenty of hits to draw from, however, including two Billboard chart-toppers (“It Wasn’t Me” and “Angel”), and it seems a good bet that enough of his five million monthly Spotify listeners live in San Diego to fill up the 700-seat room.
