Tuesday brings Morgan Heritage for their first time at the Comber. Wikipedia describes them as "a reggae band formed by five children of famed reggae-artist Denroy Morgan. Despite their relative youth, they have been referred to as 'reggae royalty.' Having grown up in their father's music studio in the U.S. the group, then consisting of eight of the children, made their first appearance at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica. They were subsequently signed by MCA and released their debut album Miracles in 1994." It also says they're touring with bands like Steel Pulse and Eek-a-Mouse, which brings us to...
Wednesday: Eek-a-Mouse. Love the Mouse! Everywhere you read about him, people refer to his unique sing-song style of skatting. He is fun to listen to and fun to watch - with a stage presence few can equal. No, we take that back. No one can equal da Mouse.
Thursday we're keeping it up with DJ Bud E. Green, and then Friday and Saturday we have back-to-back shows with John Brown's Body. John Brown's Body is one of those bands that commands lines out the door and down the dunes. Tickets for all shows are on sale now. Remember, we're a small club so don't mess around.

Morgan Heritage "Mission in Progress World Tour"

It's the sound of Jamaican dancehall systems and New York hip-hop boom

all fused into a harmonious whole.

"As I continue to present this original music to the fans, and the world, I will
remember and respect those that have made reggae music what it has
become. Music from the downtrodden underprivileged people of Jamaica,
a little island in the sun of the West Indies, to an international
music of the world. I love reggae, because reggae is me the "EEK".
