TARRUS RILEY IN CONCERT:
Reggae singer Tarrus Riley, son of Jamaican reggae legend Jimmy Riley, is following in his father's footsteps, creating socially conscious music aimed at spreading love and empowering youth. As a member of the Rastafari movement, the younger Riley is no stranger to the spiritual power of music, and his live shows are truly moving affairs. Whether he's reminding all the rude boys that "She's Royal" or advising fans to "Cry No More," Riley's message of love and tolerance will be loud and clear on his 2014 tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in the Bronx in 1979, Tarrus Riley is the son of Jamaican reggae icon Jimmy Riley. He put his music pedigree to good use early on in life, making his recording debut in his teens and releasing his first full-length Challenges in 2004. The recipient of numerous awards and nominations including a Soul Train Music Awards nod for Best Reggae Artist, Riley's distinctive voice has garnered comparisons to several greats including Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs. With his sixth studio album Love Situation hitting shelves in early 2014, Riley continues to build on his father's legacy as he hits the road for a string of highly anticipated US tour dates.
