Tessanne Chin Brings the Heat into SOB's

ROCK with Squeeze fans didn't let the frigid temperature outside stop them from coming out to have a good time last Monday night.

Comedian Freddie Ricks jumped off the special comedy portion of the night by having a little fun with the audience.

Next he introduced a friend and fellow comedian AG White. He caught the audience off guard for a minute since they didn't expect him, but it only took a few minutes for the crowd to realize that the "old white man had jokes," as he would say.

Brooklyn's own, comedian Caliese, closed out the comedy portion of the show with a few of his own Caribbean jokes, and had the crowd rolling with his special patois imitations.

French singer Ilhane returened to the ROCK with Squeeze stage to sing for us again. Don't let her tiny body fool you, this girl has a voice!

Finally, Tessanne Chin came out to a roar of applause as the crowd showed their appreciation for her showing up. Not only was she here on a freezing New York night, she also had lost her grandfather earlier in the day, yet still had the courage to brave a crowd.

But oh were we glad she did! Tessanne's souful voice was powerful and on point, and the crowd loved singing along as she belted out "Messenger" and "Hideaway," just to name a few.


As always, Monday nights are always better when you ROCK with Squeeze at SOB's. Don't miss next week when we have special guests Voicemail and Anthony Malvo!

Another JAM Packed Event Featuring Kymani Marley!

If you missed Jam Rock with Squeeze and Kymani Marley this past week, you missed a lot! We had the biggest Jam Rock with Squeeze turnout by far, with HUNDREDS packing into Sob's. The line began forming before the doors even opened at 6, with people eagerly anticipating the incredible lineup of performances we had planned.
The New Kingston Band brought their A game once again, opening up with the crowd favorites "Dreadlocks" and "Empress."

We changed things up a bit in honor of Black History Month with a special video segment. The lovely Empress Jeanille premiered the new BET J special "Top 20 Moments in Reggae" for the crowd, and judging by the reactions it will definitely be a hit. The crowd was moved by watching some of the most influential Caribbean and American men and women of our time, and how the progress they have made has helped to get us to where we are today.


An amazing new comer named Khalilah made her debut as well, and captivated the audience with her beautiful music. Splicerr followed her with another great performance.


Special guest Gramps Morgan came out and had the crowd singing along to "Down by the River," but everyone was shocked and even more excited when he brought out a surprise guest of his own, the lovely and extremely talented Miss India Arie! They sang a special rendition of "Wash My Tears" for the crowd to groove to.


Anywhere else this lineup alone would've been enough to send everyone home entertained and happy, but of course, at JAM ROCK with Squeeze the excitement never ends that early. It was only the beginning!


By the time Kymani Marley came out SOBs was already packed from wall to wall, and you could feel the excitement in the air as everyone stood shoulder to shoulder dancing, singing, and just having a good time.

Kymani had the whole place singing along as he sang a special tribute to his father, including "No Woman No Cry" and "Dear Dad," and then drove the ladies wild with his rendition of "Turn the Lights Down Low."

But once he took his blazer off he was all about business! He rapped a crowd favorite "One Time" and a new track "Armed and Dangerous" which was an ode to his life in the streets. He definitely has an amazing stage presence and knows how to work a crowd.

JAMROCK Magazine will continue to rise to new levels each and every week, and we can promise it will keep getting better as we continue to bring you the hottest names in Caribbean music. Don't miss next week when dancehall DJ and superstar Assassin and soca sensation Kevin Lyttle bring new sounds and vibes to JAM ROCK with Squeeze.

Dresscode is trendy/chic, and this is a 21+ event

Alaine graced the stage at SOBs and didn't disappoint!

Once again, Jam Rock with Squeeze was the biggest and best Monday night party in NYC! This past Monday the fans packed in once again, this time to enjoy the melodic tunes of miss Alaine.


Kevin Crown started a little differently,taking it back with a set of classic R&B hits.


There were a lot of ladies in the place, and they were definitely feeling the grown and sexy vibe.

We mixed it up even more with comedian Mark Theobald, who surprised the crowd with his hilarious, and at times a little raunchy, humor.



Benny Bwoy and Lynx brought the music back to the crowd, getting them warmed up and ready for the main event.


Then miss Alaine stole the show singing "Sacrifice," "Rise in Love," "Make me Weak," and a handful more of her best songs. Not only is she vocally gifted, she was able to engage the crowd with great interaction. One lucky guy got the most personal with Alaine when she called him on stage to dance with her.


He had a great time with Alaine grinding and whining up on him. After performing the last song "Rise in Love," the crowd had enjoyed the set so much they called her back for an encore.



The energy was crazy in SOBs, and once 12 hit the people were ready to party.


The stage was free reign for any audience members who thought they could dance, and they all came up when "Nuh Linga" came on.

For three consecutive weeks in a row, JAM ROCK with Squeeze has had an amazing turnout and continues to grow. If you haven't been yet, what rock have you been hiding under?!
