SUMMARY:FUNK-A-PALOOZA featuring Morris Day and The Time
DESCRIPTION:About Morris Day and The Time: \nA Mega-Ego sized “M” monogrammed on every flashy jacket\, and his cocky gimmickry earned talented vocalist Morris Day glaring spotlight – in front of a gang of musical side-kicks dubbed The Time. Morris Day and his quirky accompanists have carved out a sizable cult following over the past two decades as purveyors of catchy\, contagious\, multilayered funk. \nUnder Morris’ whimsical creative license the bunch quickly landed a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records\, and cut their smash debut-album\, The Time – where jovial Morris showcased his worth as more than just an animated musician\, also directing the album’s production and performance output. \nA marketer’s dream – Morris has demonstrated a longevity that wasn’t necessarily intentional. Morris Day’s rarefied musical style marked the 80’s with trademark comical skits\, trendsetting stage-gadgetry\, and dance and R&B chart-bursters like The Walk\, 777-9311\, Oaktree\, and Fishnet. \nA scene-stealing supporting role in lifelong pal Prince’s Oscar-winning flick Purple Rain\, further exhibited Morris’ natural born inclination to act – be it on stage or the big screen. \nThe 1991 reunion of Morris Day and The Time yielded Pandemonium – further symbolizing the group’s enduring lure – and so marked the next millenium’s diagnosed supersized case of Marris-manla. \n“we’re back!”\, proclaims Morris. And\, the ‘if it’s not broke don’t fix it’ adage seems to apply. The group resurrected in classic style\, with Morris and three of The Time‘s original members in tow: Jelly Bean Johnson\, and Monty Moir. \nTalented young musicians abundantly fill the dancing shoes that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis once filled. “King of Cool” Morris and his “old school” coterie are celebrating a soaring come-back\, with a second-call as the sell-out group for Club Benson & Hedges 100 Nights Live! nationwide concert series – and plans to carry their unchanged format all over the world! \nThe fame funksters deliver an ‘in the flesh’ flava that keeps generations of fans flapping their limbs to “The Bird\,” and groovin’ to “Girl“. Playing to audiences that cross all racial\, age\, and gender groups. Morris swoons the masses with his ‘it’s just me and boys’ style. The comic music-monger still motivates hysterical laughter when he goes through gyrations with colleague Jerome – antics that nobody gets away with except Morris E. Day. Rendering an accepted form of arrogance\, Morris’ slick on stage moves have ranked momentum not witnessed since the legendary Beatles regrouped. \nWhat’s next? As the climatic encore to his superstar tenure Morris is forging ahead with the launching of Atlanta-based Morris Day Entertainment\, Inc. “I don’t want to be on stage singing The Bird at age 60″\, he quips. Locating new artists and developing prodigious talent is the focus of the success-destined production company. As a master writer\, arranger\, producer\, and musician Morris Day is in the midst of breathing his second wind into up and coming ‘Generation-X’ performers. \nLooks like the indelible Day is planning on entrenching the colorful ‘Morris-motif’ in the hip-hop culture?

SUMMARY:Buju Banton & Stephen Marley: Roots and Rhymes
DESCRIPTION:About Buju Banton:  \nBuju Banton is unequivocally one of the world’s greatest dancehall/reggae artists. The man born in Salt Lane\, Kingston as Mark Anthony Myrie\, is also known to the world as living legend\, Grammy winner\, abolitionist and voice for oppressed people around the world. For over three decades\, he dominated the reggae/dancehall sub-genre with iconic collaborations (Beres Hammond\, Stephen Marley\, Dave Kelly\, Sly & Robbie\, Bobby Digital\, Steely & Cleevie\, just to name a few)\, lyricism superior to peer and a ministry committed to liberating the minds of oppressed people. The father often sons and eight daughters has taught the world true romance (“Who Say”)\, radical discernment (“Hills And Valleys”)\, perseverance (“Not An Easy Road”)\, and how to bogle (“Bogle”). \nBuju was raised by two hardworking parents\, the youngest sibling behind 16 daughters. His diligence\, charm and charisma were passed down by his father\, a factory worker. He inherited his entrepreneurial mind and passionate spirit from his mother\, a market vendor with ancestry linked to the West African slave revolters\, Maroons. Mama nicknamed her chubby baby after the Jamaican breadfruit Buju. Banton––representative of a fierce deejay––was later adopted by her son. \nAs a youth\, Buju studied reggae greats such as Major Worries\, Admiral Bailey\, Shabba Ranks\, Papa San and Lieutenant Stitchie. He often broke curfew to beg either older deejays for a couple minute son the mic or security guards for entry into studios like Technique Records and Penthouse Recordings. The latter studio is where 16-year-old Buju recorded his first song\, “The Ruler.” Recognized as a reggae prodigy\, he was commissioned by DJ sets Rambo International\, Sweet Love sound system (owned by Flourgon) to DJ for $100 a weekend. As young Banton’s hustle and connections grew\, he linked up with a future great Capleton and began demanding up to $500 per dubplate. \nThe early nineties is when Buju exploded onto the scene\, helping catapult dancehall into a global force. Buju’s first underground hit to crossover\, “Stamina Daddy\,” became the title track for his 1992 debut album (the LP was later repackaged and retitled Quick). Buju’s massive follow-up Mr. Mention\, which wrought classics like “Batty Rider” and “Love Me Brownin’\,” dropped the same year allowing the rookie sensation to break Bob Marley’s record for #1 hits. \nThe man also known as Gargamel spent the next two decades releasing sterling album after album––Voice of Jamaica (“A Little More Time\,” “Deportees”) to the certified Gold ’Til Shiloh (“Champion\,”“It’s All Over\,” “’Til I’m Laid To Rest”)\, before a succession of Grammy nominated projects preceded Before the Dawn\, the 2011 Grammy winner for Best Reggae Album. A new chapter began for Bujuin 2018\, when after a seven-year hiatus\, he appeared twiceon megastar DJ Khaled’s album Father of Asahd. \nOn March 16\, 2019\, Buju began his “Long Walk To Freedom” tour and made worldwide history\,filling Kingston’s National Stadium with over 30\,000 of his most loyal fans from around the globe.The tour expanded the market for live reggae performances and paved the road for the new generation of artists. Banton then returned to the studio and gifted the world his twelfth and thirteenth albums Upside Down 2020 and Born For Greatness. \nHaving spent his previous two albums ministering fans across the globe through a Coronavirus pandemic and global imperialism\, Buju dedicates his 14th studio album to his home. The commitment of his latest masterpiece is to re-introduce dancehall music to the new generation of reggae lovers. \nToo Too Bad also ushers in a new era for Buju’s very own label\, Gargamel Music. After decades of distribution partnerships with companies like Polygram\, Mercury and Roc Nation\, Buju is now completely independent. His philanthropic endeavors will only reap more blessings. His Buju Banton Foundation helps shelter over 120 Jamaican boys in foster care (ages 3-18). His 2019 “I Am A Jamaican” campaign raised funds for the 18-year-olds who age out of the system (Upon leaving foster care\, each will receive stipends for housing and proper clothes to pursue employment.) The following year\, Buju won a MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award for Best Reggae Act. In 2025\, his contribution to Bugle’s “Thank You Lord\,” alongside Damien Marley\, earned him a Caribbean MusicAward for Reggae Collaboration of the Year. \nBuju Banton is in the midst of a blessed revival. He is reinvested in the sovereignty of his music\, brand and business. After becoming the first dancehall/reggae artist to sell out the UBS Arena in 2024\, he is ready for global touring as well as a return to the continent of Africa. Wherever on God’s Earth the great Gargamel decides to carry his message\, the mission will remain as sturdy as it stood in 1992: \n“Reggae music is to uplift\, educate and eradicate negativity from the minds of the people globally\,” says Banton. “I will never let that change.” \nAbout Stephen Marley: \nStephen Marley is a 9-time GRAMMY Award–winning recording artist\, singer\, songwriter\, musician\, and producer. His career includes collaborations with artists such as Lauryn Hill\, Bob Weir\, Pitbull\, Shaggy\, Nas\, Jack Johnson\, Eric Clapton\, Erykah Badu\, as well as extensive work alongside his family. He is the second born child to the legendary icon\, Bob Marley. \nHis most recent album Old Soul was released in September 2023 via Tuff Gong Collective/UMe/Ghetto Youths International. The acoustic-based project spans multiple genresand cultural influences and features guest appearances from Bob Weir\, Eric Clapton\, JackJohnson\, Ziggy Marley\, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley\, Buju Banton\, and Slightly Stoopid. \nIn addition to his prolific recording work including his groundbreaking seminal albums Mind Control & Revelation: Fruit of Life 1 & 2\,Stephen most recently served as musical director for the feature film Bob Marley: One Love (2024). The film received multiple NAACP Image Award nominations\, and its soundtrack\, Bob Marley: One Love–Music Inspired by the Film\, won the GRAMMY Award for “Best Reggae Album” in 2025. \nStephen Marley continues to tour extensively throughout the US and beyond. Recent highlights include a special Bob Marley 80th Birthday Tour in 2025\, while joining Stick Figure’s Island Holiday 2025 Summer Tour\, as the 25+ date Traffic Jam North American Tour with his brother and “Welcome to Jamrock” counterpart Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley—including legendary performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Hollywood Bowl—and The Marley Brothers’ Legacy Tour\, which marked the first national U.S. shed tour by all 5 Marley brothers in over two decades. \nIn 2026 Stephen continues on the road touring across the US hitting the stage at New Orleans & Heritage Jazz Festival\, Reggae Rise Up Arizona\, Austin Reggae Fest\, Field of Dreamz Fest in San Diego\, and Festival International in Lafayette\, LA; just prior to the ‘Roots & Rhymes Summer Tour’ with long-time friend Buju Banton. \nStephen is currently in the studio working on multiple projects slated for release in 2026 including a major initiative in partnership with the Jamaica Tourism Board for Hurricane Relief awareness. Beyond his music\, Stephen remains deeply committed to philanthropy through the Ghetto Youths Foundation—co-founded with his brothers Damian and Julian Marley—which focuses on empowering underserved communities through education\, health\, and community development initiatives.
