Collie Buddz and the New Kingston Band, fresh off his recent tour with Slightly Stoopid, Cypress Hill and Rebelution, will return to Humboldt for his first play in Arcata. Collie Buddz blazed outa Bermuda and made his first appearances in the summer of 2007 and his tunes caught on like fire.  His infectious beats caught on and spread around the world from Humboldt to Dubai and he topped every chart from Japan to Germany with his unique reggae singjay style. He is releasing his long anticipated sophmore album which features songs with King Cudi, Rihanna, and Beyoncé. Incorporating influences from Hip-Hop to Soca, Collie’s music nevertheless has a rock-solid foundation in Reggae - and its power to connect ghetto reality with the highest heights of human aspiration - that is a rarity even in Jamaica. But, to say he’s connected to the Caribbean community would be an understatement. Collie Buddz, born Colin Harper, has become the Caribbean culture’s resident ambassador. With a nonstop touring schedule with his band The New Kingston Band and his longtime compatriot and hype man, Pee Wee, Collie just has one quick stop before hitting the road yet again. He’s got to stop by the embassy and pick up more page inserts for his passport. Collie Buddz puts on a quality show that always sells out, and advance tickets are advised for this concert.
