Fearon is joined by seven musicians from the Boogie Brown Band.

Fearon has played at events such as the Reggae Rising Festival, Bumbershoot, Sierra Nevada Festival and American Folk Festival. His style of reggae is known for its bass riffs.

“My music is roots reggae from the island of Jamaica,” Fearon wrote in his biography online. “I grew up in the hills, up in St. Catherine, surrounded by nature, beauty and hard work.”

“Even as a child, I knew I wanted to be a musician…”

Fearon’s inspiration comes from The Skatalies, Motown artists and Jamaican musicians who came before him.

Fearon’s work includes 10 of his own albums, spanning from 1994 to 2012. His newest album, “Heart And Soul, “ reached No. 20 on World Music Charts Europe in August. See more on Fearon at www.clintonfearon.com.
