Jamaican reggae crooner Romain Virgo just announced his U.S. West Coast Tour Dates in support of his latest album ‘The System’.

22-year-old Jamaican singer-songwriter Romain Virgo hits the road on a whirlwind tour stretching across California, Oregon and Washington throughout the rest of June and July.

In support of his critically acclaimed album The System, Virgo will perform at a variety of club venues with fellow artists Perfect and Prince Allah, as well as major festivals – including Sierra Nevada World Music Festival,  Reggae On The River and Bridge City Music Festival.

Since its May 8 release, Romain Virgo’s The System (VP Records) has remained at the top of the Billboard Reggae Album chart – where it debuted at #6.

Virgo’s second album has been so well-received within the Jamaican diaspora that his recent album launch concert – held on May 30 in Kingston, Jamaica at the Emancipation Park – drew in a massive crowd of nearly 2000 people along with major sponsors like Red Bull, Pepsi and Digicel.

Critics continue to rave about The System- calling Virgo’s music “striking” (Washington Post), “high-quality” (BBC) and “so present, so affecting” (New York Times).

In a recent article, Billboard describes Virgo as “a leading light among a new generation of roots reggae stars” and mentions how he has chosen “empowering messages over misogynistic and violent lyrics, intricately textured one-drop rhythms instead of frenetic digital beats…and found an appreciative, multi-generational audience.”
