Outlook Music Festival 2013 - Pula, Croatia

 

Broadening Outlook Festival’s musical exploration for 2013, the festival is thrilled to announce an exclusive warm up concert confirmed to take place in the incredible location of a Roman amphitheatre in the historic city of Pula, Croatia. Around 2000 years old and one of the six largest Roman amphitheatres in the world, the remarkable venue will showcase a performance from The Original Wailers plus more artists to be announced in what is guaranteed to be an exceptional evening of entertainment. 

Bringing together a selection of artists they felt would fit seamlessly within the ancient walls of this unique and beautiful setting, Outlook Festival continues to explore the breadth of sound system culture by inviting reggae pioneers The Original Wailers to perform music from their legendary record ‘Exodus’ as well as some of their other best loved hits. The festival has always shown great respect to the heritage of sound system music having previously showcased musical heroes such as Horace Andy, Max Romeo, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and many more over the years. The Original Wailers, the band who supported reggae innovator Bob Marley are the perfect fit for a venue of this magnitude.

With a selection of the festival’s DJs confirmed to provide the soundtrack between live acts and further additions still to be made, Outlook Festival is excited to share what will be a memorable evening of music in a truly remarkable setting. Outlook has worked in partnership with the city of Pula to present the evening of musical exploration and the event will be open to festival goers and the general public alike, priced at the very reasonable €16 (+ BF). Outlook decided to keep the ticket price as low as possible in order to encourage as many festival goers and Pula locals to enjoy an amazing concert at such a historical venue. Information on transport between the festival campsite and the arena will be coming soon.

Stephen Souza Performs with Legends Horace Andy and Brigadier Jerry in New York

New York’s Stephen Souza is a legend in his own right as he is one of the few artists who can say they worked closely with greats such as the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown.  With that legendary status, promoter Queen Doreen and Lady Cynthia didn’t hesitate to add the artist to their show Roots Rock Reggae.

Taking place on Saturday December 1^st, 2012 at the Jamexpol Sports club (3455 Baychester Ave, Bronx, NY), the evening features the vocals of living Reggae legends Horace Andy and Brigadier Jerry, as well as supporting artists Peter Sancho, Lady Ali and Gumbae Culture.  Music will be supplied by another living legend, Tony Screw of Downbeat the Ruler.

During rehearsals for the show, Stephen said “to sing with a classic like Horace Andy and Brigadier Jerry is a real honor.  There is nothing like real Roots Reggae so this will be a night of history and one the people won’t soon forget!”

Stephen’s recent releases, “Sounds Explosions” and “That is How Much” have been doing very well with radio programmers around the world.  Closer to home, Ruppie T, Plummie, Super T and Dr. J from WVKR 91.3 FM have all been showing Stephen a lot of support.  “Stephen has been doing his thing for years,” said Ruppie T “and it’s his time now to shine.  He has the voice and the stage presence and he’s one of New York’s best talents.  We wish him the best!”

Stephen’s 2010 Album Revisited, current album Sounds Explosion and single That is How Much are available on iTunes.
