Anyone wondering what’s up with Trinidadian gospel reggae singer Sherwin Gardner, should know that he is okay. He said as much on his latest single, Over Me, released in the third quarter of 2023 via Flow Master and Tyscot Records.
A few weeks ago, in early December, he shared the official video as confirmation. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment and share.
If you have not yet signed up for the Jamaica Reggae Retreat, which is scheduled for April 18–22, 2024, the organizers are hoping that Turbulence‘s performance at the recent staging of Sting encourages you to do so quickly, as you will have VIP access to a concert at which he is the headliner.
The general consensus among Jamaicans who have seen the show, is that Turbulence (The Future) was one of the best performers at Sting 2023. The Rastafarian singer delivered a short but spicy set which had the crowd going from the moment he and his entourage walked on the stage, to when they left. Interestingly, Turbulence didn’t even scratch the surface of his extensive catalogue, instead, he gave the audience what they came for: a taste of his lyrical mastery.
In addition to the live concert, the Jamaica Reggae Retreat will also feature an all inclusive resort in Montego Bay, trips to Dunns River Falls and Bob Marley Museum, free access to Doctor’s Cave beach, Smoke Shop visits on the Montego Bay strip, Health & Wellness sessions, and much more.
The early bird option of $1,750 USD for a single occupancy, and $2,995 USD for a double occupancy is still available. Furthermore, you can book with as little as 10% down, and pay the balance in monthly installments.
Mykal Rose has been in the spotlight as a solo act since 1989 when he signed with RCA and released the pop-influenced album Proud. That project was followed by several successful records done with Sly and Robbie, Heartbeat Records, and other independent imprints.
As such, he is considered a living legend in the reggae industry and his shows are always welcomed by his massive fan base. That said, their is currently a buzz in Santa Cruz, California, because Moe’s Alley has added Rose to their February lineup. The former member of Black Uhuru will perform live at the venue on Saturday, February 3rd, with support from Pacific Vibration and DJ Moi. Click here for tickets.
On Saturday, January 27th, Happy Moments Ontario and RPMI (Rondell Positive Movement International Ltd.), will present Encounter Purpose, an event centered around Purpose, Potential and Destiny.

Over the past few years, Dollarman – an artist who has sat at the #1 spot on several music charts (twice), toured the world many times over, and has a certified Gold Record – has been keeping a low profile; but that all changes now.
The New York-based Grenadian recording artist has just released a tough reggae track called We Belong. The lovers-rock tune, which was produced by both Dollarman and Bernard Joseph, also known as IOBI, went live on all music platforms on January 1st, 2024, via Dollarman‘s own independent record label.
On a steady one-drop reggae rhythm, the deejay, who has one of the most distinctive voices in the industry, pours out his heart to his love interest, explaining that despite all their ups and downs they belong together. This tune stands in contrast to Dollarman‘s hit songs: Rock This Party and Sounds Of Freedom, which were up-tempo pop songs.
We Belong can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Boomplay, Deezer, etc., and is available for download on iTunes and Amazon.

On Friday, February 2nd, Canadian promoter D’Bandit will present the lover’s-rock edition of Redemption. To that end, he and his team have booked legendary vocalist Wayne Wonder, who will do a live set with his full band.
This will all go down at Rebel Nightclub, which is located at 11 Polson Street in Toronto, Ontario. And because both Bob Marley and Dennis Brown were born in the first week of February, the event will also highlight and celebrate their contributions to reggae music.
Additionally, selectors Black Reaction, Chris Dubbs, DJ Shy, DOC, DJ Tyrone, and of course D’Bandit are all confirmed to play, while Mr Presto, Oshawn, Cosby, Lindo P, and Bobby D will handle the MC duties. Click here for tickets.
