Roots Reggae Queen Etana teams up with Daddy Longlegs Homegrown Revival and friends. Singer, songwriter, and humanitarian Etana is a powerhouse vocalist and Grammy Award, nominee. Its a been a decade after her debut as a reggae artist, she is now a recognized and respected entertainer in her native Jamaica and is also well known worldwide. Born Shauna McKenzie, the young talent migrated to the United States for the opportunity and briefly pursued a pop music career before rediscovering her roots as an adult and adopting the moniker Etana, “The Strong One” in Swahili. The return home spurred the evolution of her sound and is evident in her body of work expressed as the fusion of folk, soul, jazz, r&B, dancehall, and reggae. Songs created by Etana easily fits into the world music category as much as reggae and dancehall.
From Cleveland, Ohio. Daddy Longlegs Homegrown Revival weaves a rich tapestry of musical genres from all corners of the earth, supported by live performance artists onstage. Think Santana meets Lenny Kravitz w/hints of Green Day, Fela Kuti, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. A True Fusion Of: World Beat ~ Rock ~ AfroPunk ~ Acid Jazz.

“ ...Imagine a mutant lab experiment combining the DNA of Prince and David Bowie singing lead vocals for the Sisters of Mercy. This is some of the best goth-rock I've heard live in at least 10 years.”
“...I feel like I’m hearing Bowie’s hidden f@#king songs right now…”
— Jeri Sapronetti (Time Cat, Big Pop)
“It’s a mixture of David Bowie and funk in the best way possible.”
— Ryan Colin McGrew (Audio Engineer)
“Great emotional wide-scale songwriting; and fearless, passionate execution in live performance... This is a band that you'll remember; for all the right reasons.”
— Dave Snodgrass (Rick Ray Band)
