Duane has a lovely “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” attitude and he sings and plays very well. I enjoyed the songs (be prepared to sing along) and learning more about Reggae. Only downside is the hot venue.

We went as a family to Duane's show and we all loved it. Duane is a fantastic performer and he had every member of the audience captivated and inspired by his singing and story telling. He does a great job of continuing to carry the torch of freedom and justice that runs through Bob Marley's work. The whole show is a wonderful tribute to Bob, to reggae and to Jamaica.

We were not sure what to expect but we found Duane’s show an unexpected delight. It was captivating …. the best show we have seen so far.
His guitar playing and the magic of his voice ( so Bob Marley) was spell binding. He is a charismatic performer and story teller both informative and engaging.
I highly recommend this show and if I would give it 5 stars. The truth is we’d be happy to go again if we have time.

Saw the show on its opening night.
Duane Forest put on a very warm, intimate show. He has an infectious, happy aura.
He seemed to bond with every audience member and, on the way out, everyone seemed to give him a hug and/or a personal thanks as we exited the show.

I learned to appreciate Bob Marley's work more than I already did and I felt I was seeing Marley come to life again in this show (Bob Marley died at about the same time Duane Forest was born- a synergy that Duane noted in the show).

Totally dope show! Go see if it if you can get a ticket.
