On June 19^th and 20^th Reggae and Dancehall lovers in Aarhus, Denmark will experience the city’s first ever two day Reggae festival. The event will take place at V58 (on the 19^th) and Voxhall Entertainment Center (on the 20^th).

Natty King

As this is the first festival of this kind to be held in Aarhus the promoters are being very careful as they are trying to select artists that they believe will get the event off to a good start. So far they have booked Natty King (from Jamaica), Etzia (from Sweden), Alpheus (from the UK), Empress Black Omolo (from Kenya), Lise Ranks (from Denmark), Pops Jabu (from Zimbabwe), Slo Down, Total Hip Replacement and Mwakenya (from Denmark). A lot more artists will be added over the coming weeks.

Maria Jackson Entertainment is the official media/marketing company for the Aarhus Reggae Festival. All media inquiries regarding this event should be directed to mariajacksonent@gmail.com

Billboard-charting singer/songwriter Cherine is partnering with a team of young professionals as well as students to kick-start their new Groove Campus initiative. The Groove Campus Tour is a groundbreaking venture aimed at connecting leading musical bands with students outreach projects to promote education, creativity, entertainment and social responsibility. The biannual tour will help to kick-start fundraising efforts for student-led projects through a series of live on-campus concerts.

Launches new radio show
Understanding the importance of giving students a platform to engage, share their ideas and become a part of the solution for their schools, Anderson will also premiere a progressive talk and music radio show called The Cherine Anderson Groove Campus Show on April 15 on Bess 100 FM. Listeners can tune in every Wednesday 5-6 p.m. or watch the live stream via http://www.cherinetv.com

Projects confirmed for the Spring 2015 edition of the Groove Campus Tour are The Queen’s School Breakfast Project, the Munro College Gears Up Cadets Project, the Holy Trinity High Keep It Moving Fitness Project, G.C. Foster College’s pool refurbishing project, Excelsior High’s Sci-Tech Project, Rollington Town Primary’s Cool Down ceiling fan project, as well as Groove Open Campus, an all-day cook-out which entails a lunch hour concert and after work jam to benefit the ROC Scholarship Programme. Groove Open Campus is the only event of the tour that is open to the general public.

How schools are selected for Groove Campus Tour
Participating schools are nominated by students, teachers or alumni by way of an online application at http://www.cherinetv.com/groovecampus. All schools must demonstrate a clear need or a project that will benefit the entire student body. In addition, the Groove Team works in collaboration with the students and school administration to guide the projects. Other artistes to endorse the initiative are Ch4se, Nina Karle, Chevaughn and Natty King, along with performances by students, teachers, parents and alumni of each institution.
