BIG TINGS A GWAAN!
Been busy...
Feb. 13th full watts

Feb 22nd (My Queen's birthday!!) Raggamuffin Daze Santa Cruz

Woke up at 5:00 AM, Packed my bags and met up with Jah Sun and the Sol Rebels at Universal Balance Productions Studio. We loaded up the GreenMachine ( a 9 passenger bio-diesel Dodge Sprinter owned and operated by Claire Ricky) and hit the open road. We reached Santa Cruz by 2:30, and after some driving around and doubling back, we arrived at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium. Sound Engineers were sound checking the Live Wiya Band who would be backing Gregory Isaacs. After we completed our sound check it was off to the hotel for a shower and a bite to eat, and quickly back to the venue. Jah Sun and I performed our set to a slightly lethargic, yet appreciative crowd. The highlights of the evening were watching Gentleman and Anthony B, as well as getting to meet some of the musicians from the Far East Band (gentleman's band), they are from Germany, and I speak German, so it was fun talking to them.

LARGE UP JAH SUN FI REAL!!!!

Feb 23rd (travel day)
We woke up and drove, and drove, and drove, got home and slept!!

Feb 24th Feb Reggae Fest w- Soul Majestic, Anthony B, Gregory Isaacs

Received a phone call from my manager saying that Gentleman was in the hospital with strep throat, he asked if I would be interested in performing with Soul Majestic. By the end of the day I had been a roadie, a systems tech, a supporting act, an MC, and a fan. GOOD TIMES!
