2008-07-15 16:21:37 - Reggae Legends John Holt and Winston 'Merritone' Blake to headline Concert to Commemorate Jamaica's 46th Year of Independence August 2, 2008 in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In what is billed as 'An Evening of Elegance,' reggae veterans John Holt and Winston 'Merritone' Blake will headline a concert to celebrate Jamaica's 46th anniversary at the swank Zanzibar Night Club. This semi-formal event will take place Aug. 2, and doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are available online-at www.pumpstn.com-for $25 and $30 at various tickets

outlets.

Presented by Pumpstation Entertainment, this 'Evening of Elegance' is a first-of-its-kind event catering to a broader Caribbean and urban base audience. 'We plan to take people back down memory lane, particularly Jamaican people,' says Omar Stephenson of Pumpstation Entertainment.

The event coincides with Jamaica's 46th independence celebration, where traditional celebrations 'back-home' are often laced with sweet reggae music, delicious Jamaican food and beautiful people.

Zanzibar On the Waterfront will provide drink specials and a complimentary Jamaican style buffet. Reggae crooner John Holt, backed by Ruff Stuff Band, will deliver a sweet serenade of classic tunes like 'Dusty Road', 'Further You Look,' 'The Tide Is High' and the unforgettable 'Stick By Me.'
With well over 50 years in the reggae music business, both Holt and Merritone carry equally a sense of pride and tradition, representating what can be claimed, as truly Jamaican. After all, that's what it's about, as an important milestone in Jamaica's history is celebrated 46 years from British rule.

Additional music will be presented by Pumpstation Sound System and Caribbean Vibes Radio's own PauL MacK, who promises to dig deep into his musical vault to keep the vibe right. For more information and store locations, visit www.pumpstn.com.
