Omari Banks
2023-09-02 15:00 - 17:00
Born and raised on the beautiful island of Anguilla, in the British Caribbean, Omari Banks found his musical calling at the tender age of five when he first took the stage in Milan, Italy to sing alongside his father Bankie Banx . This musical experience touched his heart and a star was born. Omari went on to win multiple talent shows, but later as a teenager turned his attention to the sport of Cricket, where he excelled locally, regionally and ultimately on the world stage as the first Anguillian to play Test Cricket for the West Indies in 2003, as well as being one of the three persons to be nominated for World Young Player of the Year by the prestigious Wisden Cricket Magazine.

Omari’s passion for music never waned and in 2010 Omari made the decision to return to his first love music, finding his inspiration through an eclectic array of music genres including traditional Jamaican Reggae accentuated with Rock and Blues backbeats. His style of music has an adult contemporary fusion that blends seamlessly with Lovers Rock and RnB.

With a lifetime of experiences and life lessons Omari immersed himself in songwriting and perfecting his musicianship. He dedicated himself to his music and created his debut album, “Move On” recorded in Kingston Jamaica and Houston Texas which charted #4 on the top ten reggae albums of 2015 in the popular and prestigious “German Riddim Magazine”. His debut single and video “Unafraid” was the Number #1 Song of 2013, on Caribbean regional TV station Tempo. Omari toured Europe with the Grammy Winning group, ‘Morgan Heritage”, on their Grammy Winning Album Tour “Strictly Roots”. Omari has toured consistently doing both festivals and clubs in the US and the Caribbean including South by South West (SXSW 2016) and the St Kitts Music Festival (2019) and continue to tour the US since 2021.

To date Omari has collaborated on songs with Peetah Morgan and Duane Stephenson; and on his upcoming album Omari has a number of collaborations with international recording Artistes. With a simple musical mission to spread messages of love, consciousness and inspiration, his assimilation of styles gives a unique touch to his brand of music. Omari has to date released albums such as “Move On”, “Move On Deluxe Edition”, “Sunlight” and in Spring 2024 will release his third studio album “My Life”. “I want to use the gifts I’ve been blessed with to have a positive influence on people and touch lives with the stories and talk about what’s really going on.”

Dwayne Haggins
2023-09-04 13:00 - 15:00, 2023-09-20 15:00 - 17:00
He’s been described as “the love child of Otis Redding and Doc Watson.” “The John Legend of rockabilly.” And recently, “a ‘what-took-you-so-long’ fusion of Elvis and Marvin Gaye.” But he is Dwayne Haggins, and his voice is his own. Whether on the stage of a metropolitan concert hall or the makeshift bandstand of a neighborhood dive, you will find him exploring uncharted musical territories, listening for new ways to stir his influences into this night’s expression of his unique sound – strangely familiar, naturally mysterious, unmistakably his own.

Notably, Haggins has shared the stage with acts such as Joe Bonamassa, Keb Mo, Jimmy Vivino, Chris Lane, Suzanne Santo, and Fitz and the Tantrums. Haggins was signed in November of 2021 and his Verdict debut LP was released in June of 2022 titled “Call Me Boston”.
