Our very 1st USA Tour Greetings Black Slate Fans, We hope this finds you well. We are back home from our 1st (Can you believe it?), our very 1st USA Tour in the history of our band. All of this began with our appearance Rockers Movement Festival in Miami in 2013, then, the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in Boonville, California earlier this year. Fortunate circumstances following the Festival led to a 10 city tour beginning in Northern California's Wine Country in Sonoma, CA at Rossi's 1906 on November 8th, and ending at The Flamingo Cantina in Austin, Texas on November 21st. Original founders Anthony, Desmond & Chris with vocalist Jesse Brade and American bass player Andrew Emer, embarked on an unforgettable journey. In between, the tour stops included California dates in Santa Cruz, Blue Lake, Oakland, Ukiah, Santa Barbara, Huntington Beach, San Diego and in Los Angeles, where we shared the bill with Reggae legend Al Campbell at The Dub Club/Echoplex. It was a breathtaking and exhilarating time. Each show and audience were unique and special in their own right. We were amazed at meeting so many people of all ages who approached us with classic vinyl copies of our albums and songs for us to sign. Positive vibes were abound. It was an absolute joy to perform each night. The overwhelmingly powerful waves of love given to us from each audience is unforgettably heartfelt by all the members of Black Slate. Currently, you can see footage of some of our USA performances on YouTube from Sonoma and Santa Cruz, California. Lots more footage will be added soon. Tour photos, blogs and more too! It has been quite a journey, an incredible musical odyssey from our early days up to now. Black Slate wishes say THANK YOU to all of our fans old and new for your support. The Black Slate story is just beginning to be told. In the meantime, the Black Slate journey continues with lots more music, shows and great things to come! Stay updated here at Reverbnation, Facebook and of course, on our website: www.blackslatereggae.com. Cheers! Yours Truly, Black Slate
