Pride is the latest single from recording artist Bling Dawg, who continues to tease us with singles that will be featured on his upcoming album. On Pride he is joined by international reggae star Romain Virgo.
On October 1st the team at HeavyBeat Records gave reggae lovers an early holiday gift; Love On, KashieF Lindo‘s newest LP.
Fans and supporters of the Florida-based reggae singer are ecstatic about this: his first full length album in nine years. What also makes this project appealing to some of KashieF‘s longtime followers, is the fact that it is filled with lovers-rock tunes; a stark difference from the Justice: A Conscious Journey EP he shared in 2020.
An added reason for elation is the knowledge that legendary reggae producer Willie Lindo – KashieF‘s father – is the man behind this project. The fourteen-track album has two covers: Prisoner of Love, originally done by James Brown and Goodbye Now Forever, made popular by The Clarendonians in the 60s.
On Saturday, November 6th at 8pm (local time), three guitarists: Clinton Fearon, Andy Coe and Newel Briggs, will, for the first time, do a live acoustic performance together. The highly anticipated event will be held at Jack London Revue, located at 529 SW 4th Avenue in Portland, Oregon.
Tickets, which can be purchased here, are priced at $25usd. This is a 21 and older event, and patrons will be expected to wear a mask at all times.
A star-studded lineup including Bounty Killer, Tarrus Riley, Agent Sasco, Tessanne Chin, Jermaine Edwards and Dean Fraser will come together for the Veterans for Veterans concert on Saturday November 13. The virtual event will be the main donation drive for the National Poppy Appeal 2021. It will raise funds for the care of indigent ex-soldiers.
This year will be the second virtual staging of the event which was taken online in 2020 as a result of COVID 19. Jamaican Veterans for Veterans will be aired free on several platforms including One Spot media and TVJ.
The organizers of the Reggae By The Fire – Music & Canna Festival, which is scheduled to take place on November 5th, 6th and 7th, have just added Jamaican recording artist Anthony B to the lineup.
International recording artist George Nooks, who recently released his 28th album, is once again reigning in the gospel arena with Through It All.
The thirteen-track reggae-gospel LP was released on October 1, 2021, via Tad’s Record Inc. an imprint with which he has now done a total of four full length projects. Through It All is a collection of classical inspirational songs that have all been redone in a manner that makes them more palatable to a reggae audience. On any given day, the lead single, which is also the title track, can be heard blaring on both reggae and gospel networks all over the world.
The song’s official visuals, shared exactly one day prior to the record’s release, have been viewed approximately 15,000 times on Nooks‘ personal YouTube channel, and thousands more on music centered TV shows in various countries.
Both George Nooks and the team at Tad’s Record are now engaged in an ongoing promo campaign hoping to draw even more ears to this great body of work: Through It All.
At the beginning of the summer we published an article stating that reggae legend Don Carlos would be performing at Moe’s Alley in August. Apparently that show was postponed, and the new dates we are now getting are Friday, November 5th and Saturday, November 6th, 2021.
On both nights Carlos will be joined by I-taweh and DJ Spleece. Tickets for both shows are going for $40/$45 (advance/door) and the schedule start times are 8pm. Moe’s Alley is located at 1535 Commercial Way in Santa Cruz, California.
