It has been said that when you attend a George Nooks concert, you are getting three artists for the price of one; a roots reggae singer, a gospel minister, and DJ Prince Mohamed. Persons planning to attend the upcoming Rebel Salute Reggae Festival on January 20th and 21st should keep that in mind, as Nooks has been added to the lineup.
George Nooks is among the few artists that’s able to put 2022 in the win column. He started the year where he left off in 2021, by promoting his latest album – Through It All – shared by Tad’s Record Inc. Throughout the year, he has had several public appearances, enjoyed peak positions on key charts, and has done quite a few concerts; Plantation Smokehouse and DTHS Fundraiser, among them.
After kicking off 2023 at the 8th Annual Eastern Extravaganza, George Nooks is now gearing up for Rebel Salute. He is also currently promoting his newest video, I Surrender All, shared approximately one month ago by the team at Tad’s Record.
