Rebel Salute Returns To Grizzlys Plantation Cove Jan. 2023

Jamaica’s beloved roots festival, Rebel Salute, which was conceptualized by veteran sing-jay Tony Rebel many years ago, will be back at Grizzly’s Plantation Cove in St. Ann, Jamaica on January 13 and 14, 2023.

Like many live events all over the world, Rebel Salute was impacted by the pandemic, which basically meant that the show could not go on, as it encouraged large gatherings. Instead, a scaled down digital version was attempted.

However, now that the pandemic is behind us, bookings are underway for the live in-person staging of Rebel Salute 2023.

Hezron’s Album “Man On A Mission” Is Currently #1 On The South Florida Reggae Chart & #2 In New York (@iamhezron @Tadsrecord)

In mid August – on the 19th – Tad’s Record Inc. shared Man On A Mission, the seventeen-track album performed by singer-songwriter Hezron Clarke (P.K.A Hezron). 

The release and subsequent success of M.O.A.M is confirmation of several things; 1) Hezron‘s ability to remain relevant and consistent despite all the pitfalls in and around the music industry. 2) His versatility as a recording artist and vocalist. And 3), his indisputable mastery as a songwriter.

Taking all the above into consideration, no one should be surprised to learn that Man On A Mission is now #1 on South Florida’s Reggae Chart and #2 on New York’s Reggae Chart. Keep in mind that it was previously in the #1 position in New York as well.

In speaking with Hezron about the way M.O.A.M has been received, he expressed how pleased he was, and immediately quoted some lines from the title track: “we are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things, the smallest tide rocks the biggest boat, so who said it can’t, it can’t be done, well here I am ready for the task at hand ready with a clasp of hands, a man on a mission.”
