Clinton Fearon in Astoria, Oregon
Sunday, August 30, 2026 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Venue: Charlene Larsen Center for The Performing Arts
Artist: Clinton Fearon

Debra Heesch Presents Reggae Legend CLINTON FEARON Solo Acoustic on August 30th at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts in Astoria, Oregon. All Ages are Welcome. This will be Clinton's first time performing in Astoria! CLINTON FEARON is a composer, songwriter, singer, and player of instruments since his early teens, and a professional since the age of 19. He was born in Jamaica and became the bassist, vocalist, and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, as well as a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee 'Scratch' Perry's at Black Ark, two of the main producers on the island at this time. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles, and many others. After leaving Jamaica in 1987, Clinton Fearon started a new career in Seattle. With other musicians of the Gladiators, he decided to stay in the US and founded The Defenders. The band built a nice following in the Northwest. After five years, the band split, and Clinton Fearon formed the Boogie Brown Band with local musicians in 1993. Clinton recorded eight albums with Boogie Brown Band and two albums in a solo acoustic. Each song of Clinton Fearon is a strong message coming from the heart of a man who dedicates his life to help a better world come. With chiselled music and poetic lyrics, he opens reggae to a wider audience who simply love his beautiful songs. "My music is roots reggae from the island of Jamaica. I grew up deep in the hills, up in St. Catherine, surrounded by nature, beauty, and hard work. Even as a child, I knew I wanted to be a musician and began my career singing in church and at school, and eventually built my own guitar! As a teenager, my journeys took me to Kingston, where I met many musicians and began writing and recording music. The Skatalites, Motown artists, and Jamaican musicians who came before me all influenced my music. I write from my heart. The world is full of inspirations... nature, people, politics, love. I write about them all. My music is good for the soul - always with a message of hope and betterment for tomorrow. It's good for dancing, good for listening, and I think it's good for all." - Clinton Fearon
