Gramps Morgan tours South Pacific

Gramps Morgan embarked on a recent mini tour of his second solo album – Reggae Music Lives – in the South Pacific.

“This tour was historic and it was really a special moment in my solo career…” says Gramps. The tour included 2 shows in New Caledonia, a country where Gramps had already had the pleasure of performing as a member of Morgan Heritage. New ground was broken in Oceania as Gramps became the first Reggae artist to perform in The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Ironically, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine Middleton were departing, just as Reggae royalty was arriving.

“It was crazy man, these people were calling me the King of Reggae and I was saying no Bob Marley is the King, and still they insisted explaining that to be a king you must be alive; so they see me as a living king in Reggae. It was unbelievable! Being the first Reggae artist to perform in concert in The Solomon Islands and Vanuatu is such a great honour for me. It was an awesome moment to be a part of and a very humbling experience.”

While in that part of the world, Gramps also had his first ever performances in Australia; a place where he plans to return.

In the near future, some of Gramps’ upcoming performances in this last quarter include The Barclays Centre on November 2 with Morgan Heritage and the Island Company Clothing Launch in West Palm Beach on December 7. He will also give his first solo performance in his home parish of St. Thomas, Jamaica on December 22, before returning to New York City to ring in the new year on December 31 with Sanchez and Friends.

During the recent mini tour of his second solo album – Reggae Music Lives – in the South Pacific, Gramps took advantage of the opportunity to set his son, Jemere’s promotional campaign in that region in motion.

Finally, his syndicated radio programme, The Gramps Morgan Show now airs every Friday during Linkage Radio’s afternoon drive time from 4-6 p.m.
