Gramps Morgan Breaking Ground With Solo Effort

[Ras Blast]

In a time when reggae music is in a state of dejection and dancehall lyrics are redundant, Gramps Morgan proves positive music can still top the charts; and he did with 'Wash the Tears', the first single from the album. #1 in Canada for 4 consecutive weeks on CHRY 105.5 FM, 'Wash the Tears' also debuted at #8 on Under Pressure's Top 20 Singles Chart in Italy, before it began charting in Toronto, New York and South Florida simultaneously, peaking in the latter
two cities at the #3 & 4 spots, respectively. The video also debuted at #2 on Riddim Jamaica's Weekly Top 12 Video Chart.

Gramps Morgan remains dedicated to conscious Roots Reggae & Lovers Rock as he expands his horizons to new markets. Currently on India Arie's Soul Bird Tour, Gramps continues to impress audiences across North America with his distinctive sound. Gramps appears on "Therapy", the second single from Arie's "Testimony Vol.2 Love and Politics" album. In its first week of sales, 'Therapy' was the most downloaded track. Fans can look forward to the accompanying video soon. In the meantime, Gramps' reggae-remix of the song appears on 2 Sides of My Heart Vol. 1.

Following the release of 2 Sides of My Heart Vol. 1, Gramps Morgan will accompany John Legend and India Arie this summer on his Revolver Tour in addition to performing his own solo dates including: Chicago on July 4th; Atlanta on July 10th; Charlotte, North Carolina on July 11th. Canadians can look forward to his appearance in Toronto on Aug 2nd. Gramps will also appear on Buju Banton and Friends alongside his brother, Peetah Morgan, Burning Spear, Shabba Ranks, and Queen Ifrika at Madison Square Garden on August 7; Sept 6 at the award winning, Irie Jamboree, York College - Queens, New York.
