The night will begin with a special DJ performance by the band Burning Fire, then followed by Jade & Friends, which will include Jade and her “Shamans of Sound” –  bandmates Navisa & Sleepwalker. 

Jade’s father was a minister and needed someone to play instruments at their church, so Jade herself has always been surrounded by music.

This includes legens like Josh David Barrett and Keith Porter of Itals. 

Erik traveled the country as a part of a hip-hop/rock band with Amani and has performed many solo acts with the Galactic Panther Art Gallery. Erik and Amani have spent all of covid locked in writing and creating music, and are excited to share the stage with Jade. Amani hopes that those in attendance “Come out with unity, love, and a willingness to hear the message that reggae music has to offer. But more importantly, I hope that everyone just comes ready to have a good time.”

In addition to Jade’s performance, Amani and Erik will both be Doing a DJ gig onstage for the first time in their careers. Both have their selections picked out and are ready to improv with their chosen songs, as well as offer those at the Galactic Panther a musical experience to remember.
