Etana
Grammy-nominated reggae artiste, Etana, is all smiles these days. She has a new album in the works, and she just unveiled the plaques for her best-selling Billboard Reggae chart-topping albums, ‘I Rise’ and ‘Reggae Forever’.
Etana gushed about the crowning achievements during a recent interview. There are a few achievements that I’ve kept quiet. I think having such a huge body of work is itself an achievement, but coming from August Town and realising your hard work paid off kinda hits different.. I used to see these plaques on TV or in major label offices. having two of my own. makes me feel good about the work I’ve done so far, she told Loop News.

SOUTHEASTERN N.C. — Local concert venues are moving full force into booking music and shows again. Riverfront Park, Greenfield Lake and Wilson Center are adding…
The big music news in Wilmington recently is that the 7,200-seat Riverfront Park Amphitheater in Wilmington is nearing completion for a July opening. But, after a long musical drought imposed by the pandemic, it s perhaps just as notable that smaller, more intimate concerts in the Port City are already back, basically, with new ones being added every day.
In April, Wilmington garage rockers Kicking Bird played a scorching outdoor set at Palate, the band s first gig in over a year. That show was booked by Wilmington promoter Catherine Hawksworth, who also owns the Modern Legend record and gift shop downtown.
