Veteran reggae musician Leroy Sibbles is set to celebrate his 60th anniversary concert, titled "The Crowning," which will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre.
Sibbles will share the stage with the Queen of Reggae, Marcia Griffiths, along with first-rate vocalists Duane Stephenson, Etana, and Singing Melody, among others who are set to join the lineup.
Born and raised in the heart of the Trench Town community in Kingston, Sibbles is best known as the lead singer of the influential reggae group The Heptones. He has made significant contributions to the reggae genre both as a performer and as a bassist.
After leaving The Heptones, Sibbles pursued a successful solo career, producing hits like "Fatty Fatty" and "Garden of Life." Also well-known is the ubiquitous "Real Rock" instrumental, later voiced by Willi Williams as "Armagideon Time" and internationalized by The Clash.
Sibbles is celebrated for his rich voice, songwriting skills, and instrumental prowess, particularly in the foundational years of reggae music.
