A Week of Musical Celebration in Kingston

The month of December, which in recent years, had lost some of its lustre as the premium period for live musical/arts events, regains some of that this year with the inaugural

Kingston Music Week, conceived and promoted by the RJR Group (see http://rjrgroup.com/kgnmusicwk/ for full schedule) .

Simply, the event is really a series of events, with live music at the heart. Many of these will see collaboration with leading live event promoters, including Keesing Live, the monthly Saturday night series gathering great steam, as well as Bleu Essence, which converts the car park in front of its Kings Plaza location into an open-air music arena most Tuesdays. The Keesing Live event will actually play out on a Friday for KMW, as in this Friday December 6, and will featurwe the likes of Rootz Underground, Skygrass and Bryan Art eith the File 13 Band.

Its the Essence that will take the spotlight come December 3, when Shades of Gray will unfold. The event is  so named because the artistes on the bill, or many of them, are part of the growing Graypatch Music roster, including VC, Nickiesha Barnes, Alkamis, Imar, Sharee and Royale, as confirmed.

Fans still hungry for music (and victuals) can head over to Usain Bolt's Tracks & Records to catch Assassin, aka Agent Sasco, in concert as the Behind The Screens series returns
