Stephen Marley will be at Icon to host his album release party for the album 'Revelation:  The Root of Life' which is currently available on Amazon.com and iTunes.  Stephen will be joined by his superstar brother, Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley who will act as co-host.  This is an event you don't want to miss, especially because music will be provided by our good friend Byze One, alongside DJ JFH and J.

Mother's Day with EVER-G!


For millions of people around the world, Mother’s Day is one of the most special on the calendar.  It’s the day that most celebrate all the things their Moms, Grandmother’s, Aunt’s and Surrogate Mom’s have done for them over the years.

Reggae Icon, EVER-G has released a song in celebration of his Mom and all mothers around the world called “Miss Beautiful!”

Taken from his CD entitled ‘Independence,’ EVER-G loving lays out the reasons why his Mom is beautiful which is a sentiment echoed by many.  The icon sings:  "dearest Mother / I Love you / always have / always will ... thank you for caring when no one else cared / I thank you for listening when I needed an ear / thank you for loving me / freely and unconditionally / for as long as I live / you will always be / Miss Beautiful to me ...."

“My Mom has always been so supportive of my career.  She was there with me at my first performance, so I feel I have to sing a song just for her so she knows how much she means to me.  I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my Mom!”

The song was widely released today to thousands of DJ’s across the L3 Music Distribution network.  DJ Wiz, from CHRY 105.5 FM feels the song is one that “can be played at all times of the year, not just Mother’s Day,” while Tony Carr in the Washington DC area says his listeners are “huge fans of EVER-G’s so this song will receive a lot of play!”  In the UK, Sir Daddy D from Reggae4Us.com applauds EVER-G for making this song saying “we need more music to celebrate women and all the good they do for us men.”

In additional EVER-G news, the Icon has been performing consistently for the past month.  This past weekend he performed at the MP Island CafĂ©, which will be followed by performances at the Yorktown Pub on May 1st, Plaza Azteca on May 5th and the Buckroe Beach Reggae Festival on May 7th.  The Icon is also racking up votes at the Virginia Reggae Music Awards website (http://www.virginiareggaeawards.com/votes/all/).  Voting ends on May 13th, 2011, and the awards will be held on May 14th at East Queen’s Way & King Street downtown Hampton, Virginia.

Introducing Virginia’s Reggae Icon – EVER-G!


Everett G. Streete, professionally known as EVER-G, hails from Cash Hill, Hanover, Jamaica and resides in Hampton, Virginia. Writing and singing conscious and uplifting songs with messages of peace, love and unity, EVER-G headlines his own shows, and has been the opening act for such greats as: Steel Pulse, Third World, Shabba Ranks, Yellow Man, Sanchez, Ky-Mani Marley and Gregory Isaacs.

With an impressive discography of 5 CD’s (Jah Love – 2010, Mission – 2005, Independence – 2003, World Peace – 1999 and Christmas Mood – 2007), EVER-G has toured across the United States, and has performed dates in Canada.  Festivals such as the Kuumba, Black Beard, Reggae @ Sunset, Caribfest, Umoja, the Afram Festival in Norfolk, VA, Hampton Bay Days, King Lincoln Festival, and Bob Marley Tribute are some of the stages the icon has graced.

In 2009, EVER-G collaborated with Canadian Dancehall artist Chatta (Best Dancehall Female, 2007) on the title track from his 3rd CD MISSION. The remix appears on Chatta's CD MANGO LOVE.  In 2009, EVER-G was commissioned to write and perform a song to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO).

Taking his accolades a step further, EVER-G’s music has been featured in the production of an independent full featured film titled “Patterns of Passion”, written, produced and directed by Patrick L. Coleman.  His music has also been featured in notable publications such as The Daily Press (TICKET Section) of the Sunday newspaper, the Knoxville Sentinel, Encore Magazine and NineVolt Magazine.

EVER-G has been compared to Beres Hammond and Freddie McGregor which he accepts as compliments, and caused the star to say “Music is at the core of my being from which I am positively inspired to write about and spread the message of peace, love and unity.”

Coco Butter from 105.3 Kiss FM in Norfolk, VA says “EVER-G’s music is a mixture of reggae and gospel to me.  It’s spiritual.  His lyrics, combined with the music, take you to another world.  It makes you escape your problems.”  One of his fans, JoAnne says “Listening to your "muzik" you can tell how much your pour your heart and soul into the lyrics. Keep enjoying life! Luv Ya!”

As EVER-G’s popularity continues to grow, the demand for live performances increases. EVER-G performs at numerous clubs, Colleges & Universities along the EAST Coast using great Reggae rhythms to electrify audiences, taking his listeners to a place of peace, love and unification.
