Earth Family Fest, which was scheduled for March 30th through April 5th at the Itality Gardens at Cranbrooks in St. Ann, Jamaica, has been postponed.
In mid February the organizers announced that Sister Carol would be on the lineup. No other artists were mentioned. Stay tuned for the new dates.
With both the United States and Jamaica restricting incoming flights to their respective countries, it is only natural for event promoters with shows scheduled for March and April in these territories to postpone or cancel their events.
With that in mind, the organizers of Reggae Blaze, which was to take place on Saturday, April 11th, at Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York, has postponed the event to a later date. Capleton was the confirmed headliner for this show.
On March 18th Jah9 premiered the official video for “Note To Self (Okay),” which is a collaboration done with Chronixx. The song is featured on her just released album with the same name; and the video was directed and edited by SAMO.

Today we learnt that Moe’s Alley, located in Santa Cruz, California, will be closing their doors for now. Below is an official statement from the management regarding purchased tickets, refunds and reschedules.
“Hello friends and family, Moe’s Alley checking in with you. We wanted to let you know we will be closed for now, but we will be re-opening as soon as possible. In the meantime we are keeping our website MOESALLEY.COM up to date, and if you see CANCELLED that means you are getting a full refund back to your method of payment. (we have already fully refunded all March cancelled shows, and we will be refunding April cancelled shows next week)
If you see the word POSTPONED that means the show has been moved to a later date and all previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. (For example Los Lobos, Monophonics, Michael Rose, Hot Buttered Rum, Jesse Daniel & Coffis Brothers have all been moved & the new dates are up on our website. We will also be emailing all ticket holders individually on a show by show basis when a show reschedules with ticketing options. Stay safe, stay positive & thank you for supporting live music.”
So far Jamaica has had only sixteen (16) cases of confirmed corona virus infections, with one death. Out of an abundance of caution, the government has been aggressively promoting and encouraging social distancing so as to prevent it from spreading nationwide.
As such, the Andrew Holness Administration has restricted public gatherings. This undoubtedly affects persons in the music industry, such as recording artists, night club owners, event promoters etc. With that in mind, several artists have been posting on their social media platforms, asking their supporters to stay home!

It is sad to hear about another set of shows being postponed and/or cancelled, but that is the reality we now live in. See Jesse Royal‘s message below.
Due to the worldwide effects of the pandemic COVID 19 and the high level of uncertainty it has caused across the world, it is with deep regret that the US Tour, scheduled from March 21 to May 2, like several other events, is being postponed until further notice.
Ticket holders are advised to look out for further announcements.
All my brothers and sisters whether living in affected or unaffected zones at this time I just caution you to take all necessary precautions to protect yourselves, family and friends.
This pandemic has caused many to be fearful of the unknown, but we urge you to trust the Creator – Jesse Royal. #OneLove
