Orange Sky to mark 25th anniversary with virtual concert

Orange Sky will take global fans on a musical journey in celebration of its 25th anniversary with a live virtual concert on March 27.

Over those years the rock-fusion ensemble has produced seven full-length albums, three international recording contracts and has had major tours of the US, UK, India and several Caribbean islands. It has also had multiple radio hits (on local, regional and satellite radio) and over 700 live shows, said a media release.

Orange Sky's members are Nigel Rojas, lead vocals/guitar; Nicholas Rojas, bass and back-up vocals; Dax Cartar, guitar; and Dion Camacho on drums.

Among its many musical highs are performances alongside members’ music heroes from rock giants Malmsteen, Kings X and Kansas to reggae legends Steel Pulse, Damian and Stephen Marley and Beres Hammond, as well as the chance to work on three albums with world-renowned record producers, the release said.

The band's frontman Rojas said in the release the live celebration is a way of showing gratitude to the fans. “We wanted to share our pride, joy and gratitude with all our friends and fans around the world in the way that we know best...by jamming live! We’re looking forward to performing songs from our vast catalogue, as well as brand-new material from our upcoming album Strange Days."

The virtual concert experience is a collaboration between the band, producer Khafra Rudder of Bassyard, North Eleven Productions, Alan Tia Sounds, Splice Studios and Kerron Lemmesey (Lemmessey Productions) with support from Benny Hatem, the Lollabee Group, Burger King and Subway. Most notably, it received tremendous corporate support from Carib Beer, the release said.

Category manager of Carib Beer Antron Forte said of the company's involvement in the event, “There is tremendous musical talent in TT and we at Carib Brewery are always energised by the long-standing contributions and achievements of our local stars, Nigel Rojas and the members of Orange Sky. Carib Beer continues to support our local artistes and we are elated to be part of this 25th-anniversary celebration."
