ARTIST BIOS:
CALEB HART
Caleb Hart is a reggae/Caribbean music singer-songwriter originally from Trinidad & Tobago now based on Vancouver Island. In a remarkably short timeframe Caleb established himself as a mainstay of the BC reggae scene as well as a regular touring artist across Canada and internationally. In 2017, Caleb was invited to open for Damian Marley in Vancouver where he received much acclaim from the sold-out audience and media alike. He released his second album titled “11” in 2019. Calen is known for high-energy performances and incredible improvisation which make each show unique. Jonelle is a Jamaican-Canadian singer-songwriter from from Toronto who now calls Vancouver home. She originally moved to the west coast to pursue competitive track and field where she had much success on the Canadian Junior Team. In 2019 she made the leap of taking her musical passion to a professional level with the recording of her first single “Sunshine” and performing onstage with local reggae acts RebeLstoke and Mad Riddim. Her style reflects her love of reggae, afrobeats, hip hop and jazz. She started singing at age six and learned to play trumpet a few years after that. This show will be Jonelle's debut at The Queen's.
REBELSTOKE
RebeLstoke is a Vancouver-based reggae band comprised of longtime members of the city's live reggae scene. Members include drummer Richard Brown, guitarist Cuyler Biller and bassist and singer Jonah Ocean. In addition to their quality musicianship, the band known for often paying homage to reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear and others with their solid repertoire of covers. Another hallmark of RebeLstoke is their support of reggae singers from the Caribbean diaspora in the city of whom they often invite to be a part of their performances. This show will be a great example of that as they will be backing both Caleb and Jonelle; a proven winning combo after a very successful show last month at Vancouver Island University's 5th annual All Nations Reggae Symposium finale concert. It was so good that we had to bring them back for the wider community!
