IMAGE BAND for "Reggae Tuesdays" - Tues. 9/1/09





About Image Band
The Image Band has harmonious rhythms and dynamic vocals, this electrifying group of musicians that has shattered all traditional notions of success in the Caribbean entertainment industry. Their popularity is noted by the busy schedule they maintain yearly. The band fulfils regular engagements in numerous U.S. cities on the East Coast, Canada and the Caribbean.

In St. Croix Virgin Islands, the group is host to the largest New Years Eve events held annually. Their live act is so mesmerizing, it has been repeated consecutively and grows larger each year. In the Washington, DC Carnival arena, the group’s home base, the Image Band competes in several highly competitive contests and against some of the Caribbean's most revered bands. The Image Band was the first to win the 1994 Best Musical Band Award presented by the DC Carnival Committee. In 1998 and 1999, they were crowned as Baltimore's Brass-O-Rama champions by the TNT Day in the Park Association of Baltimore.

These accomplishments reflect the group's pursuit of musical excellence and encourage them to continue striving for more. Yo ready? Le meh see yo! Those are the words pumping through the sound system as the lights come up and Soca/Dancehall powerhouse Image Band hits the stage again for another foot-stomping show. Every journey to the stage is an opportunity to make a musical statement. Pulsating percussive rhythms; throbbing guitar and bass riffs; steady keyboard patterns; and the oily-smooth precision execution of live horns, complement the group's presentations. Their versatility, however, enables them to play various musical genres, including R&B, Hip Hop and Dancehall, but Soca is the heartbeat of this band.

NOTE: Check them out live for the next Reggae Tuesdays!

Passion Reggae Band returns to Reggae Tuesdays, Tue. 8/25/09. Come check out these fine (& ladies...I do mean fine...lol)musicians who've been creating and performing for more than two decades. The band formed in 2005 by vocalist/keyboardist Worrel “Kango” David and drummer Angus “Bunny” Belmar.

PROVERBS Rocked!!!


Reggae Tuesdays was amazing this past Tuesday, August 18, 2009, when featured reggae band PROVERBS performed. It was more than a performance really, as it set the back drop for The Carolina Kitchen Bar & Grill to be transformed into a Caribbean haven. The only thing missing was the beach!

Folks sipped on the drinks of their choice, enjoyed some delicious eats and some gave in to the good vibration of the music to shake a leg. There were many people in the near full capacity venue, to include "RT Regulars", family, friends, promoters, newbies...it was a beautiful thing!

So...make RT a part of your week next week. The summer is drawing to a close, so let's make the most of it.

See you next week.
