Jamaican roots reggae legend Clinton Fearon will be returning to Vancouver Island five years since his last performances here for a special solo acoustic concert in support of his newest album Survival Vibration, released in April 2024.

Also, Rebel Selector, resident DJ of Nanaimo Reggae Massive, will be on hand to spin classic reggae before and after the live set!

Clinton Fearon is a composer, songwriter, singer and player of instruments since his early teens, and a professional since the age of 19. He was born in Jamaica and become the bassist, vocalist and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, as well as a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee 'Scratch' Perry's at Black Ark, two of the main producers on the island at this time. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles and many others. After leaving Jamaica 1987, Clinton Fearon start a new career from Seattle. With other musicians of the Gladiators, he decided to stay in the US and to found The Defenders. The band built a nice following in the Northwest. After five years the band split and Clinton Fearon formed the Boogie Brown Band with local musicians in 1993.
“Survival Vibration” is Clinton Fearon’s third acoustic album, after “Mi An’ Mi Guitar” (2005) and “Heart And Soul” (2012) and there is definitely an evolution. Like with the previous ones, Clinton is performing all the instruments parts: guitar, bass, a bit of drums, multiple percussions among Clinton’s favorites, and lots of human sounds. His only collaboration was actually with birds he recorded on an island of New Caledonia (Ouvea) in spring 2023. The acoustic guitar Clinton Fearon is using in “Survival Vibration” is a James Goodal, different from “Heart And Soul” (was a Martin’s) and from “Mi An’ Mi Guitar” (a Yamaha). The bass, a
beautiful acoustic Taylor, remains the same on all three albums.
The main musical difference with this last album is the strong presence of the bass. As the former Gladiators said: “I’m a bit broad shoulder with the bass. I’m a bass player too. This album could have been titled ‘Mi An’ Mi Bass’.”
