DESCRIPTION:
'Blues in Jamaica 2015' is an annual blues & reggae music trip organized by our fearless leader Dawn Fairbanks. She brings 5 or 6 top notch musicians from Toronto and surrounding area and approximately 60 vacationers down to the 7 mile long beach of Negril, Jamaica for 1 week at an all expense paid resort.

Blues in Jamaica' was created to join together Canadian Blues professionals and local Negril Reggae artists in the warmth of the Jamaican sun and the inviting settings of resorts and clubs, both beachfront and cliffside. 2015 was the 4th year we brought this together...and our most successful yet!

Combining popular beach nightclubs including the Seastar Inn, Bourbon Beach & Roots Bamboo with the rustic setting of the Samsara and the beachfront Legends Resort, we jammed, sang, danced and entertained ourselves into the hearts of the locals and the souls of our guests from Canada.

The musicians involved in this trip were Canadian legend and lead singer of the Downchild Blues Band Chuck Jackson, Cheryl Lescom, Jerome Godboo, Tyler Yarema, Brant Parker, Terry Gillespie, Owen Brown and a surprise guest for one night only was Canada's Queen of R&B & Soul award winning Liberty Silver.

2016...we are coming back, bigger, stronger and MUCH more music! Roots, Reggae & Blues.
