Publicity by Kaati 775-337-8344 Tuesday, March 21 TOOTS & THE MAYTALS Tahoe Biltmore, Crystal Bay, NV (North Tahoe) 9:00 pm (Doors Open at 8:00 pm) $20.00 advance/$25 day of show TOOTS AND THEY MAYTALS AT THE TAHOE BILTMORE ON TUESDAY, MARCH 21 BRINGING RICH JAMAICAN MUSIC THAT SPANS EVERY DECADE OF REGGAE FROM ROOTS TO SKA Toots Hibbert is one of the great voices of Jamaica; a legend whose career spans every development in Jamaican music, from ska through rock-steady to reggae. The Tahoe Biltmore on the north shore of Lake Tahoe is the place to be on Tuesday, March 21 to see this legendary performer. Tickets are on sale at www.renegadeshows.com and at local ticket outlets including the Tahoe Biltmore gift shop. Music starts at 9pm. Toots and the Maytals have helped to chart the course of Jamaican music with unrivaled delivery and dynamism, setting new standards of excellence, and becoming the most enduring of all Jamaica's groups. Born in Maypen in the parish of Clarendon, Jamaica - the youngest of seven children - Toots began singing in the church choir at the age of seven. He left home in his teens to go to Kingston where he met Raleigh Gordon and Jerry Matthias and formed the original Maytals in 1962. They were also sometimes recorded as the Vikings. The Maytals began their career at Studio One, the headquarters of Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, in Kingston, Jamaica. The group's debut release, HALLELUJAH, was an immediate hit throughout the island, and featured a mix of Jamaican rhythms and gospel vocal influence that would mark much of the Maytals music. Further successes followed, including I'LL NEVER GROW OLD and JUST GOT TO BE ME, each one building a reputation for the Maytals and their energetic straight-from-church style of singing and their "spiritual" ska beat. Despite the initial successes, the group soon left Coxsone and linked up with another legendary figure in the Jamaican music business, Prince Buster, the number one sound system operator on the island. The Buster-produced Maytals singles were popular successes in Jamaica and England, where this new type of "ska" music became a sensation in dancehalls. The relationship between Buster and The Maytals produced some of the best records from the original ska era, including DOG WAR, aka BROADWAY JUNGLE. In 1966, the Maytals began to work with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires and won the first Jamaican Festival Song Competition with the song BAM BAM. The Maytals were poised for stardom, but just as their fortune seemed set, Toots was arrested for possession of marijuana and was incarcerated for 18 months, despite his plea of innocence. The Maytals returned with a vengeance in 1968, recording with famed producer Leslie Kong. The era of ska was ending, giving way to the more complex sounds of Reggae evolving from Kong's Beverleys Label. Although these years of post-independence marked a more violent era of Jamaica's history, Toots and the Maytals were far closer to soul and gospel influences than many of the "revolutionary" young artistes of the late 60's. Nevertheless, the Maytals first single in two years, 54-46 (THAT'S MY NUMBER), combined the story of Toots' arrest with a powerful downbeat to create one of the greatest rock steady/reggae singles of all time. As rock steady became reggae (and the Maytals single DO THE REGGAY was the first published use of the word), the Maytals consolidated their position as leaders in Jamaican music. They recorded the hit MONKEY MAN and the classic SWEET AND DANDY which won the 1969 Festival Song Competition and was featured, along with their dance-floor smash, PRESSURE DROP, on the soundtrack to THE HARDER THEY COME, one of the great reggae albums of all time. The Beverley's label folded, however, with the passing of Leslie Kong in 1971. The Maytals turned again to Byron Lee and his Dynamic Sounds, and again won the Festival Song prize in 1972 for POMP AND PRIDE. They released their first album for Dynamic, FUNKY KINGSTON in 1973-- a masterful album in every respect and one that helped bolster the group's international audience- now considered a classic staple for any reggae collection. In 1975 Toots and the Maytals signed a worldwide recording contract with Island Records. The following year the group hit the British singles charts with REGGAE GOT SOUL, the title track to their new album. They also toured America, Europe and Britain. The REGGAE GOT SOUL album was a superb showcase for Toots' soulful vocals embellished by fine musicianship from a cosmopolitan studio band that included such talents as Steve Winwood, Eddie Quansah, Dudu Pukwana, Rico Rodriguez and Tommy McCook. Constant touring showed audiences what Jamaicans had known for over a decade - that Toots and the Maytals were simply one of the greatest live acts in the world. Their popularity increased throughout the 70's with such popular releases as PASS THE PIPE (1978), IN THE DARK (1979), JUST LIKE THAT (1980), KNOCK OUT (1982). IN THE DARK, which included the songs TIME TOUGH and TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS was Internationally acclaimed, and BEAUTIFUL WOMAN from the KNOCKOUT album was an international hit. The world's audiences were able to hear Toots and the Maytals fuse reggae, soul, gospel and even country, into a dynamic original combination. On September 29, 1980, Toots and The Maytals made history when the band played at London's Hammersmith Palais. Less than 24 hours later, a live album from that show was on sale in record stores throughout Britain. It was the fastest live album in recording history and, according to some critics, TOOTS LIVE ranks alongside Bob Marley Live At The Lyceum, James Brown At The Apollo and Otis Redding in Europe as one of the finest live records ever made. After disbanding the Maytals in the early 80's, Toots began recording with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. The combination produced SPIRITUAL HEALING -- a chart success around the world, even reaching number one in South Africa and another hit, PEACE PERFECT PEACE. The popular and critically acclaimed TOOTS IN MEMPHIS (1988) followed, featuring Toots covering Stax classics in his own inimitable way. Toots reformed the Maytals and picked up the touring pace again in the early 90's. The group released RECOUP (1997), and the Grammy-nominated SKAFATHER (1998) - featuring new re- cuts of older material with a few new tracks included. Toots and the Maytals have been nominated three times for Grammy Awards ­ the other nominations were for TOOTS IN MEMPHIS and TOOTS LIVE. The Maytals also hold the record for the largest number of number one hits in Jamaica, with 31 to their credit. They are the only Jamaican group that has both sides of one of their records become number one on both Hit Parades (DADDY and IT'S YOU). The 2002 release, WORLD IS TURNING, on Toots¹ own D & F label, was the first album of all new material to be released in two decades. The album contains songs that were works in progress over a long period between 1973 and 2002, and features refreshing originals with a wide variety of styles and influences, including rocksteady, reggae roots, funky r&b, rave disco, and gospel. The 15-song album includes only one re-cut, a hot new version of the roots-reggae FEEL FREE, with a brilliant cameo from the Messenger, Luciano. The latest album, TRUE LOVE, finds Toots and the Maytals revisiting some of the band¹s most classic works with a host of musical friends onboard ­ Keith Richards, Shaggy and Rahzel, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Beck, Ben Harper, No Doubt, Marcia Griffiths, Ken Boothe, Ryan Adams, Bootsy Collins and the Roots, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Terry Hall and the Skatalites and Trey Anastasio ­ for delightful fresh-ear journey through Toots¹ musical history. Add in the surprise tracks- Willie Nelson and Toots groovin¹ on Willie¹s STILL IS STILL MOVIN TO ME, Rachel Yamagata pleading on the newer BLAME ON ME and Bunny Wailer¹s vocal comradery on the never-before released TAKE A TRIP for an unparalleled reggae joy ride. Indeed Toots and the Maytals artistry spans every phase of Jamaican music's evolution, earning him the reputation as one of Jamaica's most consistent and inspired performers, and one of the greatest reggae/r&b singers of all time. Generations of fans ­ old and new- are discovering that Toots and the Maytals were - and are - masters of reggae and the live performance. The combination of great reggae rhythms, heartfelt vocals, and soulful gospel influence remains potent and powerful --probably the most cohesive mix of reggae and soul music ever, and still going strong.

ABIJAH Artist update: since Kyle Russell took over management of Jamaican artist ABIJAH at the turn of the new year, several important developments have taken place. Proper promotional materials have been created, including an all-color press picture, new bio, and "stretch" business cards. An expandable web page is constantly having new content (images & text) added at _www.Reggae4i.com/Abijah.html_ (http://www.reggae4i.com/Abijah.html) . A visit to Jamaica by Russell in February set in motion a Radio and TV promo strategy that is already yielding airplay for songs coming out on a much-needed promotional CD, due out this week. Seven new songs will receive global radio and promoter exposure in anticipation of Abijah's 2nd album release later this year. Feasibility for several tours are being explored in the U.S. and abroad. An international web-based PR campaign is already underway. After a brilliant debut, these developments are welcome "shots in the arm," delivering ABIJAH further recognition of his extraordinary talent which is expected to make him an ever-more a key figure on the international stage of Reggae music. Specifically, we're seeking media partners for additional press coverage and inroads with promoters who've either worked with ABIJAH, or are interested in sampling the skills of this versatile, culturally oriented singer and singjay. DUB STATION update: just after Thanksgiving last year, DUB STATION flew into San Diego for a debut tour of the entire West Coast, performing a packed schedule thru 11 cities in 4 states (CA/OR/WA/NV). The occasion was the regional release of 2 new albums: one with SHAKA BLACK (featuring 8 live cuts); and one with newcomer TOM O'BRIEN ("the white Bob Marley"), in anticipation of a more national/global release of the CD's later this spring. After group leader Kyle Russell took on management of ABIJAH, he came to the U.S. for a mini-tour of New England. With Dub Station's capable backing (making this the 4th year the two have been paired), foundations were laid for future work together later this year. Specific tour plans are being developed for the Southwest; Hawaii; and Europe. Meanwhile, DUB STATION continues to hold down it's decade-long reign at Bill's Bar in Boston, hosting perhaps the longest running Reggae theme-night in the country. Other bands are rotated in steadily, particularly while Dub Station is on the road. The group continues to bring in new vocalists and multi-artist packages to deliver fresh faces, sounds, and lyrics to live-music loving audiences on many stages. Web Site News: our host, promotional site _www.Reggae4i.com_ (http://www.reggae4i.com/) is overhauling it's music sampling system to allow more formalized, free audio clips of existing - and 10 NEW - albums, including the new material from ABIJAH, as well as DUB STATION. We'll be sending out an email (and our second global Newsletter) to announce its completion. So visit the site and check back often for constant new developments. Please don't hesitate to contact us regarding the artists & developments above...again, we're seeking new partnerships and opportunities. Support Live Reggae Music!
