Jamison offers what has been called ‘one of the most high energy shows on the east coast’, with dynamic reels mixed with rock, reggae, modern pop, hiphop dance beats and just about every cover genre – all while never straying far from their Irish roots. Media Music Studio manager and co-owner, Jamie Brown, noted that the concert will also serve as a venue to record Jamison live for an upcoming DVD release as well.
