Maroon 5 Headlines Jamaica's Jazz & Blues Festival

Filed under: Events

I'm not quite sure that Maroon 5 qualifies as jazz or blues but those traveling to the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival (January 23 - 29, 2011) to catch the band in action probably don't care a bit. The Grammy-award-winners are just part of the annual event that gives music lovers a good reason to enjoy the warm weather and hospitality of the island. The festival's promoters told them a local Jamaican newspaper that they are hoping the band will help lure a new (and younger audience) to the popular annual festival.

The popular event will be held at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium, located just east of the island's tourist capital, Montego Bay. other confirmed acts include: Air Supply, Laura Izubor, Regina Belle, SWV, Ron Isley, Alison Hinds, Brenda Russell, Phil Perry and Diana King. The full schedule is available at the festival website and tickets start at $80.

Singer Adam Levine of Maroon 5 is the latest celebrity to announce a fashion line. His new line is named 222, after his lucky number which is also the address of the recording studio where his band recorded their demo. Levine has the number tattooed on his arm and also designed a line of guitars under the 222 brand.

Levine's father Fred has been the owner of a chain of boutiques in Los Angeles called M. Frederic for the last 30 years. He will be involved in the new line as will a cousin of Fred Levine, Sami Cooper, who owns the clothing factory that will produce the line. The line for men and women includes t-shirts, jeans, leather jackets and more. Prices will range from around $30 to over $1,000. The line will be available next spring.
