About

Nicknamed the “Dancehall Godfather,” Johnny Osbourne is a living legend known for his classic hits “Buddy Bye,” “Ice Cream Love” and “Water Pumping.” This summer, he’s bringing his best Jamaican reggae and dancehall to Island Soul for a night of rhythm and soul.

About Johnny Osbourne

In 2023, Johnny produced a new album with Baco Records and closely collaborated with the musician Stepper. This new project will thrill reggae lovers and be composed of original tracks and revisited classics. The result is delightful: 10 tracks with sunny, catchy melodies and lyrics full of Osbourne’s detonating energy that will carry us on an ultra-positive wave!   

About Hardcore Band

They’ve backed many international and local artists such as Black Uhuru, Johnny Osbourne, Marcia Griffiths, Ken Boothe, Junior Reid, Errol Dunkley, John Holt, Queen Ifrica, plus many more. The five members have a wealth of experience, having toured the world together. They are now gearing up for a busy festival season across Canada, ready to bring their professional and polished performance to the stage.
