Live in concert:Leroy Sibbles, Cornell Campbell, Lorna Bennett, Mikey Dread: Plus several local Miami/Fort Lauderdale Reggae Artists like Johnny Dread and Junior Fearon a new talent coming out of Ajang Music Kingston, Jamaica on his debut performance. Reggae on the Beach is a Roots and Culture event showcasing the 70's timeline in Reggae History with the legends and the musical architects of that era reuniting to recreate a long lost cultural tradition in Reggae Music. The artist line up is consistent with the mid 70's era of Jamaican Music when Leroy Sibbles and the Heptones ruled the dances and the parties with innumerable hits and timeless Reggae classics. It was an era shared also by Cornell Campbell whose Studio One collaborated songs like "Queen of the Minstrel" "Stars" became monumental hits in the industry. Later an association with King Tubby's studio and Bunny Lee hit again with "Dread inna Greenwich Farm"There was Lorna Bennett, whose hit "Breakfast in Bed" became an anthem at home and abroad and has a special place in the development and historical timeline of Reggae.By the time Mikey Dread reached JBC he was already familiar with Leroy Sibbles, Cornell Campbell and Lorna Bennett amongst other prominent Jamaican hit makers of the day.His mission was to open up the Reggae industry and give the music maximum exposure and continuous airplay as he devoted his airtime strictly to the promotion of Reggae artists, musicians, labels and the entire Jamaica music Industry who witnessed a revival in the industry, and a demand for their music, public appreciation for their recordings while the country saw a drop in crime rate. By the turn of the 80's Reggae music had established itself on radio worldwide. The message and the vibe was now reaching people on several continents by various means, sound systems, live concerts radio and the press, and they wanted more.Jamaica Reggae Time Line  The continuum.
