The artiste who last performed here in February at the Annual Blues Festival was on a hectic schedule performing Sunday in Brooklyn and Saturday night in Boston.

The entertainer had recently released a new single, “My Island”, which followed his tribute to Glenn Jackson, a composition he performed with another local artiste, Skarpyon.
