CLINTON FEARON and BOOGIE BROWN BAND equal PURE REGGAE ROOTS and LIVE DUB!
Coming from a rich musical history, Clinton Fearon now steps forward with his own roots reggae group, Boogie Brown Band. Original lyrics and rock steady, hard-driving, stainless rhythms comprise the foundation of their music, which appeals to people of all ages and from all walks of life.
The band is led by Clinton Fearon who hails from deep in the hills of St. Catherine, Jamaica. As a youth, he went to Kingston to eventually become the well-known bassist, vocalist and lyricist for The Gladiators as well as a house musician for Coxsonne Dodd's Studio One and Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark Studio. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles and many many others. Upon coming to the United States, he was cofounder of the popular reggae group The Defenders.
Since then he has formed Boogie Brown Band, based out of Seattle, Washington.
The band consists of Clinton Fearon, lead vocals, guitar and percussion; Barbara Kennedy, harmony vocals and keyboards; Ire', harmony vocals; Jeff DeMelle, bass; Sergio Cuevas, drums; Bill Jones, trumpet; and Izaak Mills, tenor sax. Together they create danceable rhythms, positive vibes and bring the spiritual message of roots reggae music for all to enjoy.
