It's Time To Wine Behind 'De Truck

What a season it’s turning out to be for Shurwayne Winchester and the team of musicians who make up the unit he calls, YOU!!!

With an event agenda that began from the peak of the Christmas season both locally and across the region, to a carnival calendar that spans every big fete and all-inclusive, the question merely remains- what will they come with next…?

The two-time road march winner has been on fire from the very beginning of his journey into Carnival 2010 and while his humility keeps him grounded, the people who keep their ears to the ground, know oh too well, what the ‘Iron Man’ is capable of doing.

Another BIG release will penetrate the airwaves on Tuesday, January 5^th- just in time for Shurwayne’s performance at the Blazing Fire Fete, which takes place on Saturday January 9th, along Wrightson Road in Port-of-Spain.

His appetite to capture the masses in a way that no other artiste will in 2010 is the reason for, “Behind de Truck.”

Simple yet strong, plain yet instructive- Winchester gives revelers little opportunity to breathe in the soca track that was originally produced by YOU and given the final touch of completion by super- producer, Daryl Braxton. It’s a road tune that is a guaranteed hit, stepping into the heat of the season.

The track is built around the raw element that is Trini carnival with focus being set on the big trucks that have become the ammunition for revelers to let loose alongside, as they wine, jump and wave on every street, every roadway and certainly on every pavement come Carnival Monday and Tuesday. Shurwayne says all that is carnival moves behind the trucks… He adds, “ The song is just about that- the raw, untamed reality of what carnival in T&T represents. The trucks present the truth of Carnival, as it should always be.”

This is one for the road, one for the fete, one for the season and according to the masters of production, this song is 4 minutes and 13 seconds of adrenaline pumping energy that summons the masses to their rightful place- behind de truck!

This season, look out for Shurwayne and YOU on every corner, on every stage- in de carnival!!!

THE YOUTHS ARE READY TO STEP OUT FOR FIRE FETE, 2010!!!

As the first big event to take place on the dawn of Carnival 2010, the annual Fire Services Fete is shaping up to be far bigger than many would have expected. With a cast of over ten of the Caribbean’s hottest soca stars and emerging stars carded to perform on January 9^th, the event which is appreciated world-over for being the big one to start it all, will in 2010, provide an atmosphere of enjoyment, far different from years gone by.

Iwer George, Bunji Garlin, Fayann Lyons, Grenada’s Tallpree, Shurwayne Winchester and his band YOU, along with Makamillion and the Millionaire family, Patch Denise Saucy Wow Belfon and Ms Alysha are ready to give what just might be, their true best on Fire Saturday!

Already, organizers have been embracing the overwhelming ticket sales at locations across the country, from Cache’s outlets to Fire Stations nationwide, and judging from the online network buzz, thousands from across the country will be heading down to Wrightson Road in Port-Of-Spain, on January 9^th.

In 2010, Makamillion- a local event promoter turned crossover vocalist who has teamed up with the likes of Orlando Octave, Multisymptom, Nessa, Jade Lopez, Musique, Kerry John and Terri Lyons to bring The Millionaire Family into focus, will for the first time, perform live at Fire Fete.

The start of a new decade brings with it a rejuvenated vibe within the local carnival scene and according to organizers, it’s a decade that will welcome the offerings of the young and vibrant entertainers. Coupled with the experience of Iwer George, Shurwayne Winchester and even Bunji Garlin- those on the inside all agree that Fire Fete will be one of the best events to hit the season!
