Live Music: Country Club revolution? The Jam is back!

Despite hosting rapper Fifty Cent ("the last entertainment show ever held on that fairway" states former manager), the Constant Spring Golf Club (est. 1902) is not the place one might readily associate with free--wheeling, experimental musical improvisation featuring a cast "of thousands" (exaggeration of course).

Some of the best instrumental and vocal talents  - homegrown and those from overseas - gathered incrementally by the Club's Fairway Tavern to expound musically. The entire cast is too large to mention, but guitarists Wayne McGregor and Jason Worton, musical siblings Joel (keys) and Jeremy Ashbourne (drums) and members of other noted jam bands, including Skygrass, From the Deep and the long absent Belgian guitarist Gerd Baens (now playing mouth harp).

The result was a lively but not overpowering potpourri of dub, rap, blues, rock and other hyrbid or previously unnamed genre that sprang to the individual and collective minds

Music; Dubtonic make the "high percentage" play

Hailed as the World's Best Band back in 2011(Global Battle of the Bands), Jamaican combo Dubtonic Kru is back with a fresh single, "99%". According to publicity material from the band, This tune reaches out to those 99% of us who are suffering from the eternal greed of those in charge. It reminds us that we have to come together and unite as one body since we, the people, are the ones that should be in charge.

Dubtonic also released an album "Evolution" which followed their acclaimed break out CD "Jungle Fever"
On the same riddim, provided by Jubba White's White Stone Productions and Phillip "Winta" James, who currently enjoys tremendous success with Protoje, the camp is now introducing Alfray. Coming of age in the tough Olympic District of Kingston, Jamaica, this up-and-coming talent addresses crucial social issues through a catchy chorus.
