JAMROCK Magazine Pays Honor to Lost Legend Garnett Silk


Friends and fans alike paid tribute to the music of Garnett Silk, and the night was a bitter-sweet ode to the talent whose future was promising, but cut short after his tragic and untimely death.
Freddie Ricks came out to brighten up the crowd, providing them with plenty of laughs and the original comedy that the familiar crowd has come to expect from him each and every week.
He brought along fellow comedienne Goldie, and if she looks familiar it's because she's a former contestant on Flava of Love. The crowd had high hopes for her but she didn't deliver the laughs expected, considering that the girl shared a tongue (and possibly more) with Flava Flav.

Shorty may have been pint-sized but his jokes weren't. The crowd couldn't stop laughing and got into it, although one crowd-goer took it too far when she felt a little offended by his jokes, then caused a scene.

The crowd enjoyed the vibes as the New Kingston Band played a few of their own songs to get everyone warmed up.

Then they set off the main event giving their own renditions of many of Garnett's hits, putting their own spin on classics like "Zion in a Vision."

Then friends Jah Wise and Down Beatz took to the stage to spin more Garnett classics, but also started the JAM with Squeeze party started by playing reggae classics by everyone from Richie Spice to Sizzla, and even got some Beres in there. The crowd had a good time and it was definitely a night to remember.
