Agent Sasco’s ‘Grateful’ Concert

Initially, when Agent Sasco announced his ‘Grateful’ Concert—an event conceived to honor his mother, whose birthday falls on December 29th, as well as to commemorate his impressive 25 years in the music industry—many in the public sphere perceived it merely as a solo performance. However, Agent Sasco has since clarified this misconception by revealing an array of esteemed performers set to join him on stage.
 

The concert will feature notable artists including Tanya Stephens, Kevin Downswell, and Samory I, as well as a special surprise guest. This gathering will take place at UWI Bowl on Sunday, December 29th, where these talented individuals will unite to celebrate their friend and colleague’s spirit of gratitude. In a recent interview with the Jamaica Observer, Agent Sasco articulated the essence of the event: “The guests appearances we will have will also be in that [gratitude] spirit and vein, and so it will just be excellent entertainment and food. It’s a family-friendly event; everyone is welcomed to come and just hold a vibe.”
 

The gates for this highly anticipated occasion will open at 4:00 PM with the show commencing around 7:00 PM. Agent Sasco is expected to take the stage around 9:00 PM, thus ensuring that attendees can enjoy an evening filled with warmth and camaraderie before heading home by midnight.

Sheldon Gava Prepping New Single For Jan. 1, 2025

After becoming disillusioned with the music industry, emerging Rastafarian artist Sheldon Gava opted to take a brief hiatus that lasted approximately two years. It was only through his association with like-minded music enthusiasts at large-scale, multi-genre music festivals that he began to rekindle his passion for combining words and melodies. 

With his renewed excitement for creating tunes, Sheldon Gava has decided to get back in the game. As such, he will be releasing a new track titled “Read” on January 1, 2025. While making the announcement, Gava said the following: “New Year’s Day represents a new beginning, growth, and wishful thinking of changing for the better. “Read” answers the question, Should old acquaintances be forgotten? Yes, whenever necessary.”

Sheldon Gava was born in Old Harbor Bay, St. Catherine, Jamaica, but grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Among his discography is a ten-track album titled “Natty De Ras,” which was released in October 2020 on his own Gava Music LLC label.
