ELAN TO PERFORM AT 23rd ANNUAL REGGAE ON THE RIVER FESTIVAL
SATURDAY, AUGUST 5
“Girl”’s sexual motif is driven home brilliantly by ELAN’s embracing vocals and interludes from Assassin, a rising MC and DJ star in Jamaica . Currently, main stations in the Virgin Islands/Carribean have been heavily grasping onto "Girl" and the album’s title track “Together As One.” Los Angeles’ Indie 103.1 is also playing the latter and “Nothing Is Worth Losing You” with heavy support by Native Wayne, host of the station’s ‘Reggae Smoke-in’ show. Look for a video for “Girl” in the coming weeks.
ELAN just wrapped up touring as the opener of UB40’s tour in North America . He also just announced a performance at the 23rd Annual Reggae On The River on Saturday, August 5 in Humboldt County , Northern California . A proper support tour for the album after its release in June is also in the works.
Together As One, ELAN’s debut long-player, features some of the biggest and best reggae producers in the business. The notable list includes heavyweights such as Sly and Robbie, Lenky, Fatis and Tony Kelly, to name a few. In addition to also producing most of the songs himself, Tony Kanal is serving as Executive Producer on the project. Other guest performers include Cutty Ranks and Tami Chynn. A single package for the song “Girl” featuring Assassin with tracks “Nothing Is Worth Losing You” and “Together As One” is available in stores and online now.
