The Jamaica Tourist Board has taken over as title sponsor of the annual Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival, taking place January 22-24, 2009. The Festival, Jamaica's premiere music event, will once again feature three nights of A-list performances, and this year will also place more emphasis on the destination with special resort and attractions packages created to showcase Jamaica's diverse tourism product.
"The Jamaica Tourist Board has supported this festival since its inception, and as this year's Title Sponsor the spotlight will shine more brightly on the entire destination," said Zachary Harding, Deputy Director of Tourism, Cruise, Attractions & Events.
"Music is one of Jamaica's greatest cultural exports, and we are honored to have the Festival renamed the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival, more closely associating the annual event with our unique culture and heritage."
This year's Festival lineup includes A-list performers like London's exciting new artist Estelle, Grammy Award-winner Lionel Richie, Atlantic Starr, Lou Gramm, 14-year-old Canadian sensation Nikki Yanofsky, The O'Jays, Robin Thicke, Chicago, and more.
The 2009 Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival presented by Air Jamaica will be staged at the historic Aqueduct in Montego Bay, Jamaica, from Thursday, January 22 to Saturday, January 24, 2009. Tickets for the festival go on sale later this year." [source]

11.09.2008 | Fan Meeting/Pics
  
"I went to the Camden NJ show, I got my tickets through the head sound & audio producer for Robin's set. I had to go wait for him at the soundboard, to get finished with Robin's set, then he had to walk us backstage to this outside patio, he told us just to wait there and he'll be out in a bit. About 10 mins later, we saw Mary & her dancers leaving her dressing room for the stage, right after that Robin came back on the patio where we were. There weren't a whole lot of people, maybe like 13... He came right up to me and my friend, shook our hand and asked us where we were from... What a nice guy.. so we stood there talking with him for a bit, took some pictures with him, he signed my CD. The concert was great, we had 4th row PIT seats, Robin was awesome (wish would have sang "Brand New Jones" though), and Mary was out of this world.."
One more fan pic!
Thanks to Fred and Fatih!
