I
GRADE SHOWCASE 2006
Abja, NiyoRah and Army
Backed by Red I Band - 19
Broadway, Fairfax - July 19, 2006
I Grade established themselves as one of the premier
sounds emanating from St. Croix. They first
assaulted the West Coast with their high-grade roots in
2005, and Army, NiyoRah and Abja
took things to another level earlier this year by
including a horn section at some of their performances.
On the heals of Abja's outstanding new release "Mahogany
Road" and NiyoRah's "Purification Session",
I Grade has returned, this time with Balboa
and Garrett accompanying them on all West Coast
dates including their headlining the North West World
Reggae Festival. Joining them this time around is
Whealan Massicott on guitar for what I believe is
his very first gigs on the West Coast. Massive
sounds thought and through....
