A change in venue led to a short break, but after a two-week hiatus Rock with Squeeze is finally back! The people were obviously ready for it because the crowd was back and ready to party. Black, white, young, old, and everything in between were all represented as people that came from all over filled SOB's for the big night. The crowd warmed up with an eclectic blend of smooth and up-tempo jams played by the New Kingston Band. The house band has already become a favorite of the crowd regulars that know them from the many JAMROCK events they have performed at in the past, but even the newcomers were impressed by the immensely talented young men. 
Next a surprise performer came out and wowed the crowd with some beautiful music of his own. The Haitian phenom, and close friend to superstar Wyclef Jean, Belo, made a trip to deliver a little creole crooning to the audience. The language difference didn't seem to be any barrier because the audience enjoyed his set and even sang along.
Then it was time for Frankie Paul, or the "Jamaican Stevie Wonder" as some would say. Much doesn't need to be said of this phenomenal performer, who kept the crowd singing along as he went through a catalog of his songs.
The night culminated with the second headliner, I-Wayne. He kept everyone's attention through his whole set but he definitely brought the energy through the roof when he performed his hit "Can't Satisfy Her."
Due to the popularity of both the Monday night Rock with Squeeze event and the Thursday night Jam with Squeeze party, we've merged them into one all night party! Beginning next Monday and each and every Monday thereafter, we will be hosting Jam Rock with Squeeze, the ultimate in live music, fashion, food, and fun. Each week beginning at 6, you can join us after work for some drinks and entertaiment from our special guests, which in the past have included Cecile, Shaggy, Wyclef Jean, and more! Then at 12 the party begins with the biggest DJ's bringing the best in Reggae, Soca, Dancehall, Hip Hop, and R&B. And of course when you're at a JAMROCK Magazine party you never know what surprise guests and performers might show up. If last night was any measure of the success of future Jam Rock with Squeeze events then there is a lot to look forward to in the weeks to come.
Next Monday come Jam Rock with Squeeze and special guest Richie Spice! The much requested guest will finally be making his Jam Rock with Squeeze debut on Monday, January 26th. Stay tuned for more details and announcements on other surprises later in the week. Just remember, the only place to be on a Monday night is Jam Rockin' with Squeeze at SOB's!
