According to the group” Morgan Heritage are more than a legendary reggae band, they are a revolution, a family, a force of nature, and a crew of five independent artistes on a musical mission”. Born in Bushwick, Brooklyn and raised in Massachusetts USA, Morgan Heritage are the children of Jamaican reggae singer Denroy Morgan. The children were brought up with intensive vocal and instrument training, and exposed to a wide variety of musical influences. Since forming in 1990 the band has scored with hit singles “ Lets Make Up”, “ Don’t Haffi Dread,” “Down By The River”, “She Still Loving Me”, “ Reggae Bring Back Love”, “What we need is Love” , along with a series of hits from their recent album “Full Circle”.
Having played together since they were children, Morgan Heritage can’t recall or imagine having band mates other than siblings and you can hear the closeness of their bond in the way they sing and play together. “We are a family , straight up” says Lukes Morgan, “ Sometimes it gets hard but at the end of the day we squash all arguments then and there . The advantage of being a family group is we come to decisions quickly, and it’s easy to get us all together.”
This weekend’s concert is being promoted by Blanchard Boys Production, a group of youngsters working at Blanchard’s restaurant and sponsored by Cell phone service provider Digicel, who are also running a series of promos and giveaways on local radio stations, giving subscribers an opportunity to win prizes and tickets to the event.
