About this event
Friday, December 11 ($800) 9:30pm
The EarthKry band was born and nurtured in 2013 within the halls of the Edna Manley College of The Visual & Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica where four budding musicians hoped to hone their skills. The band chose its name, EarthKry, to signify its mission to voice the grievances of the downtrodden through the vibrations of their music. Befittingly, their debut single “9 to 5” echoes the daily tribulations of the working class who are barely able to make ends meet from their menial wages.
In April 2015 EarthKry entered The Ostroda Festival's "World Reggae Contest" with their “9 to 5” single where they became the only Jamaican band to make it to the top ten, placing 7th out of 102 entries from across the globe.
Through the guidance of musicians Nambo Robinson and Maurice Gordon, the band released their first E.P ‘Hard Road’ October 2015 during their island Hard Road Tour as they work towards their release of the first album for 2016.
