Capital Concert Series Featuring Tarrus Riley

Music that transcends generations and stands the test of time, that is Tarrus Riley's ongoing legacy. Embedded in his DNA via his late father, veteran reggae singer Jimmy Riley's musical gift, the generational singer has broken barriers to give the world a soundtrack to their lives.

Armed with prolific lyrics, a powerful distinctive voice, and the dexterity to pen meaningful words, Tarrus Riley has found a way to bring music notes to life. From social commentary, to feel-good music, inspirational tracks, and love compositions, the multi-award crooner's impressive discography runs the gamut of life. Having honed his craft since his teenage years, Tarrus's kinship to music has seen him work alongside an eclectic array of artists and producers such as renowned saxophonist Dean Fraser, Major Lazer, Big Youth, Konshens, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, among others.

From topping the Billboard Reggae Charts to making his way onto Billboard's Hot 100 chart, Tarrus Riley has kept on delivering beautifully crafted music. Alongside his 2004 debut album "Challenges," 2006 album "Parables," 2009 hit-filled "Contagious" album, 2012 acoustic album "Mecoustic," critically acclaimed 2014 "Love Situation," and worldwide top charting B.L.E.M project (Blending Life's Experiences Musically), the reggae star has duly cemented his name in the reggae landscape.
