Hi Guys, I'm helping promote this great show with Toronto's Lizards, who are made up of some musicians from across Canada currently living in Southern Ontario. They'll be taking a look at this forum for songs that fans want to seem, so please suggest 'em. I heard really good reviews of their last show at the Comfort Zone, and this upcoming show at Lee's Palace will undoubtedly be even better. They have super pro lighting system that give justice to the Phish Experience. Let me hear what songs you wanna hear! Cheers

The Guy Payman Aboudaleh who's mixed up in this whole wacked up story was the singer in my high-school rock band. He actually never sang a note in public, just as he was joining the band he went to jail for threatening his mom. That's was our claim to fame ... our leader singer is in jail...

Watch New Kingston's newest video: Nah Give Up Marky Lyrical (of Inword) has #1 Reggae Single in Canada "Valley of Darkness"

Brooklyn, NYC's Reggae Family "New Kingston" is joined by Montreal's Premiere Reggae band Inword and Toronto's MeccaCity Sound for #Reggae4TheWeekend Concert at Toronto's El Mocambo. NuFunk & Higher Society Music Group Presents Saturday, January 11th, 2014 'Reggae 4 The Weekend' New Kingston (NYC) & Inword (Montreal) plus DJ's: Meccacity Sound & MC Klymatik El Mocambo - 464 Spadina Ave. Toronto, ON Doors at 9pm $10 Advance, $15 at the Door Online Tickets: http://goo.gl/n3gdIA Facebook Link: http://on.fb.me/18oyHGS Presented in association with: TorontoReggae, Fusicology & Canadian Reggae World. New Kingston have travelled the world as Collie Budds back-up and opening act known for the reggae crossover sound are joined by Inword, Montreal's definitive Reggae act featuring Marky Lyrical who has Canada's #1 Reggae hit song "Valley of Darkness" for a special wintertime reggae dance party including Meccacity Sound & MC Klymatik "De Crowd Pleasa" and hosted by Nufunk & Higher Society ! The New Kingston http://newkingstonmusic.com/ New Kingston consists of three brothers -- Tahir a.k.a. SLIM, (keyboards). Courtney (drums) and Stephen a.k.a SUKI (guitar) -- who fuse their reggae sound with modern pop, jazz and R&B music to create their own unique sound which they call "Reggae Crossover". Youthful and refreshing yet also seasoned industry veterans, New Kingston is led by its founder/manager and father Courtney LJ Panton. New Kingston started off working with many artists such as Collie Buddz, Mr.Vegas, Morgan Heritage, Gyptian, Shabba Ranks, and many more, which with the guidance of their manager led to the creation and manifestation of "Reggae Crossover". The idea was to blend various influences in such a way that it would appeal to the widest possible audience, while still remaining true to their heritage. Now sharing the stage with many artists in Europe the Americas and beyond, New Kingston released their second album, In the Streets, in 2010. Two of the album’s featured singles -- the title track "In The Streets" and "Pon Di Wall" -- have gained worldwide radio recognition. For more information on one of the world’s exciting young reggae acts Inword featuring vocalist/guitarist Marky Lyrical Inword is a spiritually centered band that is known for performing a unique style of roots reggae. Since 2003 they have built a loyal following in Montreal, Quebec, due to their original sound which surpasses the usual monotonous critique of the reggae genre. With influences ranging from stars like Burning Spear and Alpha Blondy, to soulful singers like Ben Harper and Fela Kuti. With members hailing from Canada, Haiti, Barbados, and Antigua, Inword displays a diverse array of talent with a potent delivery. Their aim is to express a spiritual vibration through conscious reggae music in the hope of inspiring people from all walks of life. The light of a positive message is needed in these times of materialism. Original songs are inspired from the ancient scripture of many spiritual traditions and through personal meditation on the depths of human existence. Members include Montreal drummer “Jahsunâ€, known locally for the musical improvisation group Kalmunity, seasoned reggae bass player Neil “Bass One†Benskin, Joseph Shanahan on keyboards and Marky Lyrical on vocal and guitar,
