Clinton Fearon

Clinton Fearon: Vocals, Guitar, Percussion, ...Coming from a rich musical history, Clinton Fearon now steps forward with his own roots reggae group, Boogie Brown Band. Original lyrics and rock steady, hard-driving, stainless rhythms comprise the foundation of their music which appeals to people of all ages and from all walks of life.

"A small break and Clinton Fearon steps out, all in white, with an immense smile. Clinton Fearon opens a capellaHe slips his guitar on and opens the show alone with his instrument for a first song a capella. We hear Fearon's powerful and profound voice, vibrant, his light play on the strings….A huge release of emotion. The Elysée, resonating a little, applauds and welcomes the Boogie Brown Band, who return to the stage, also dressed in white. This time it's all their voices that rise for another a capella on "Have a little faith" (which serves as the intro and closing for the album "Give and Take", in fact the intro for the track "Blood For Blood"). It's no lighter on emotion; shivers run through our bodies…and then the music explodes and we let ourselves be carried away." (Reggae Bash 2005)
