I Grade Records is pleased to present the Feel Your Presence Tour August 11-26 featuring Virgin Islands reggae pioneer, Niyorah, alongside Toussaint ‘The Liberator’ and Tuff Lion, all backed by the Jah Current Band. Covering California, Oregon and Washington state with stops at the NWWRF, Rockit Room, Nectar, to name just a few, the Feel Your Presence Tour is a trailblazing one linking roots reggae, dub, dancehall and soul music. Indeed, The Feel Your Presence Tour will be putting the soul back into the roots.
As one of a handful of Virgin Islands artists who have helped to energize roots reggae’s conscious message while setting a new standard for reggae music, Niyorah ‘is’ reggae for many current music fans. And Toussaint, former lead singer for Stax Records / Blue Note recording group Soulive, links American Soul and Caribbean Roots with pitch perfect vocals and a magnetic stage presence. Toussaint’s place at the crossroads of soul and reggae results in an undeniably captivating experience on record and at live events.
Both Niyorah and Toussaint are proud to have new albums on the street. Niyorah, who released his new album, Feel Your Presence (Denkenesh Records), in June is at the forefront of contemporary roots while Toussaint’s debut solo album, Black Gold (I Grade Records), will be available in August (Aug 10 – digital / Aug 24 – hard copy).
Previews of both albums are available online via the links below. If a hard copy is required please contact Joshua Chamberlain at soulof_thelion@yahoo.com
