Reggae artiste Gramps Morgan has joined Stephen Marley and Buju Banton’s Roots and Rhymes summer tour.

Morgan is scheduled to perform on twelve shows, beginning on June 26, and ending on July 18.

In an interview with Observer Online, Morgan said it was a big deal for him to perform alongside his musical brothers.

“It is a very big deal to me, knowing that I get to share a stage with two of my music brothers. We’ve always dreamt of doing a tour like this, but it is also a little bittersweet because I wish my brother (Peetah Morgan) was here to share this moment, and it would even be stronger doing the tour as Morgan Heritage and my brother singing the lead vocals but I know he’s watching down and smiling and will be enjoying many of the shows as we all share a stage together—three families: Marley, Myrie and Morgan,” said Gramps.

The tour will visit cities including Bethel and Elmont in New York, Cincinnati in Ohio, Boston, Massachusetts, Bridgeport, Connecticut, Dallas, Texas, Huntsville, Alabama, Detroit, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois.

“Some of the venues where we will be performing are pretty big and some are midsize. These are two of the biggest names in reggae music who have done it at the highest level, coming together to do this. This is a great statement for our genre of music and our culture,” Morgan disclosed.

While he will be sharing the stage with Banton and Marley, Gramps will also be headlining his very own solo No Water in My Whiskey tour.

“I will also be doing a show of my own on July 4, which will be a day off for everyone else in Kansas City.  Missouri is where that show will take place, then I move on with my family, Morgan Heritage, to Reggae Land in the UK, performing August 1, then I continue on with four more shows in the UK and then close out in Amsterdam at Reggae Lake August 15.  Later in the fall, I have a few more dates, including the West Coast in the United States,” Morgan shared.
