Omani at Sly McFly’s

Monterey county reggae fans will be pleased to hear that there is a free reggae show on Cannery Row.  OMANI is honored to be the first ever reggae band to perform at the legendary Sly McFly’s Refueling Station in Monterey.

Friday January 15th at Sly McFly’s
700 A Cannery Row Monterey, CA 92940 — (831) 649-8050
OMANI is proud to be the FIRST EVER REGGAE BAND AT SLY’S
FREE SHOW — 9pm til 1am — Food and Alcohol available

The music, and band name, symbolizes “Positivity”.  It’s a message with a strong sense for finding one’s own happiness, balanced with thoughtful awareness.  With hypnotic grooves and satisfying positive vibes, OMANI‘s uplifting reggae music makes you think, makes you wanna move, and makes you have a good time.

Performing mainly original songs, as well as spontaneous improvisational dub jams, yet sometimes also a tasty selection of a few cover songs by Dennis Brown, Tenor Saw, Bob Marly, and even the Eagles, and Steve Miller.

This band does not rely on stereotypical tactics such as fakin’ jamaican patois, preaching the bible, or singing about ganja.  Instead they provide the audience with a broad texture of sound featuring catchy hooks, horn lines, and vocal harmonies, delivered with a contagious and familiar yet refreshing feeling of pure musical pleasure.

The last time OMANI performed in Monterey was for the 14th annual Monterey Bay Reggaefest on Labor Day weekend 2009.

New Ken Girardey Songs

Ken Girardey

Ken Girardey

On top of the three already available, “A Life on the Road,” “Hollis Brown,” and “A Table for Two,” we have added a bunch of new Ken Girardey songs to the “All Genres” radio stream, the “Rock, Metal, and Acoustic” audio stream, and the On Demand Player!

The new songs added are as follows: “Ali,” “Apache,” “Down in the Hole,” “For a Missing Cat,” “Life’s One Act Play,” “No Mo Joe,” “Smoking Gun,” “World in a Jug,” “Yes it is, it’s True,” and “You Belong to Me (Clara).”

Here is the press release for a few of the songs, written by Mr. Girardey himself.

A Table for Two…. this all original unique CD is a story about the life of Jack Kerouac and his daughter Jan Michelle Kerouac. It’s a fantasy fiction piece about a Father and Daughter who never really connected in life, and although they were like two peas in a pod, they seemed to pass each other like ships in the night. The story takes place after Jack passes away and is on his journey to his final destination where he gets one last chance to connect with the daughter he never took the time to get to know. The original story is narrated by the Author Ken Girardey and features lots of colorful sound effects and original music performed by the author.

Emmy nominated Producer of Thirty Something and Handwritten Theater, Joseph Dougherty, gave it 5 Stars and stated, “Ken Girardey confidently sculpts music, language and wishful thinking to create a contemplation of loss and regret on the road to eternity. Perfect overnight programming, this passes my test for appropriate audio company on a late night drive across the desert.”

Noted Producer and Peabody award winner Marjorie Van Halteren gave it a 4 star review. “Good writing, nice voice, full of music, sound, and humour, and truly from the heart.

- Ken Girardey

Para La Gente (PLG)

Para La Gente (PLG)

Para La Gente (PLG)

Hey everyone, we just wanted to let you know that we’ll be writing a review pretty soon on Para La Gente‘s CD, People Living Growing. I would have waited for the review to get some promo out for these guys, but I’ve been listening to it a lot and it’s something you guys and gals need to listen to. Their genuine “New New School” music, self described as “Otherground Hip Hop, Live and Lyrical Rap, Digital and Dynamic with Rock, Funk, Reggae and Club influences” truly does bring something very new to the table. Their messages are clear, pick up the CD and hear for yourself. Official review coming soon.

You can grab a hard copy of their CD or as a digital download at CDBaby, And be sure to check out their MySpace.
