The resort area of Virginia Beach experienced a Reggae awakening on Thursday, August 19th. The Reggae band Nature’s Child, featuring a special guest artiste performance by her Royal Highness Empress Lioness, shook the Oceanfront.  The event which was supposed to be a normal Thursday night 17th street stage show, quickly turned into a festival of one love 'a la reggae riddims', which left the hundreds of onlookers wanting more.

The evening started with Nature’s Child, featuring Jorge, Dee, and Young Lion doing their set of covers and original songs like “ANGEL”, the first single off their forthcoming album, THE FIRST SUPPER OF ONE PEOPLE.  The band had the crowd eating from their musical hands, singing, waving, and chanting. Everyone knew from that point if they hadn’t before, that Nature’s Child is the undisputed reggae ambassador of Virginia Beach.

 During the B-SIDE promotional segment, Jorge and Empress Lioness performed their hits from the album THE B-SIDE, produced by YORLE of Lion Werks, Virginia Beach’s hot young Caribbean producer.  The Empress Lioness performance had the crowd going wild, putting up their lighters, hands, and anything to pay homage to the crowned empress of Richmond.  She showed them exactly why she has been on Soundclick.com’s Reggae and World music charts for the past three months, featuring songs like “A LITTLE BIT LONGER” and “HIGH GRADE”.

At the end of the evening, the patrons did not want to leave, demanding one last song. That one last song quickly turned into three with the final song sang by Jorge over the claps and cheers of the audience, and by that time, without a microphone as the band and stage crew began packing their equipment.
