Reggae Icon EVER-G Releases a Mother’s Day Tribute!


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.”

The Icon has been nominated for 3 awards at the Virginia Reggae Awards and is racking up votes at the website (http://www.virginiareggaeawards.com/votes/all/) so make your vote count too!  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.

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.
