Gramps Morgan Coming Home To Brooklyn With First Solo Performance
Roy “Gramps” Morgan from the Grammy Award-winning reggae band Morgan Heritage is going back home to Brooklyn for his first solo performance. The Jamaican-American singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, producer, record executive, is the son of the late, legendary reggae artiste Denroy Morgan, the founder of the band Morgan Heritage.
Gramps Morgan is set to headline in Tortola during Memorial Day Weekend. Legendary R&B singer Freddie Jackson will open the concert for Gramps Morgan.
Through his publicist, Sean “Contractor” Edwards, Gramps expressed, “I am extremely
honored to be performing in Tortola this weekend. The music is really helping to be a
part of the healing. I look forward to playing the songs from my solo catalog. It’s been a
very long time it all just seems so unreal at times just to imagine Freddie Jackson
opening up before me. This was a man I grew up listening to as a child and studied his
vocal styling, also especially by my brother Peetah. So to be on the same stage as him
as our dream come true and I’m looking forward to continue playing my music and
healing with my musical family and fans across the world.”
Gramps Morgan is also thrilled to be doing his first solo performance in Brooklyn, New
York, the place of his birth. Gramps added, “This Show in Brooklyn really means a lot to
me. It’s the city of my birth and where the Morgan Heritage family spent a lot of time
working in our recording studio in Bushwick. I was contacted by my friend from the radio
station and we met up while I was in town and he came up with the idea. I’ve never
performed a solo act in Brooklyn before so I saw it as a great event to help to get back.
Some sort of normalcy music is a healer and I have to surround myself with that as well
as reach out to our family that has always been there for us over the past 30 years, so
it’s gonna be a night of celebrating with family and friends.”
Gramps Morgan will be performing in Brooklyn, New York on June 29th, 2024.
