After launching Reggae Month with a church service at the end of January, the organizers will present a major gospel concert, called Reggae Praise, as the final show in their Reggae Wednesdays series.

That said, on Wednesday, February 28th, JaRIA (Jamaica Reggae Industry Association) will host the spirit-filled show at Festival Marketplace on the Waterfront in Kingston. This free event will have live performances by Levy’s Heritage, Sista Patt, Johnmark Wiggan, Humble, Perpetual Praise, Audia Spencer-Brown, and Verlando Small.

Attendees at the upcoming Maximize Your Potential Conference, scheduled for February 29th to March 2nd, will be inspired and empowered. So say the organizers.

To boot, they have confirmed gospel sensation Yolanda Adams, who is expected to deliver a soul-stirring performance. Adams will be joined by Hulvey, Zacardi Cortez, Deedee Freeman, and others. The conference will be held at The Faith Center – 5555 NW 95th Ave – in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Click here for additional information.
