Reggae Singer, Gramps Morgan to perform at NY Mets Game
NEW YORK - On Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 Gramps Morgan will take centre field to perform at the New York Mets game vs. the Houston Astros. Baseball will never be the same!
Part of Carib Beat at Citi Field, the open-air ballpark in the New York metropolitan area, Gramps will perform Don't Cry for Jamaica off of his chart topping solo, album, 2 Sides of My Heart Vol.1. Clinton Lindsay, host of the popular radio show, The Foundation in South Florida reported, "...I especially love the track 'Don't Cry For Jamaica' - which is on hot rotation on my program!" The single, an ode to Gramps' beloved, was co-written and co-produced with Grammy award winning songwriter, Shannon Sanders.
This is a great opportunity for reggae music to expand its horizons beyond the musical arena and for Gramps to perform for fans of America's favourite pastime.
A consummate and stellar performer, "Gramps, one of the fastest rising stars in reggae circles commanded the stage at Irie Jamboree", wrote Anthony Turner about his Labour Day Long Weekend performance @ York College in New York recently. Gramps who toured with R&B hit makers John Legend and India Irie also delivered two memorable performances at the world renowned Madison Square Garden this summer where he shared the stage with Shabba Ranks, Queen Ifrica, Tony Rebel and Buju Banton; the latter with whom he is currently touring across the States.
Before the first pitch is thrown between the Mets and the Astros, Gramps Morgan will hit his own home run when reggae meets baseball inside Citi Field on October 3rd. "...Take me out to the ball game..."
