Third World Band returns to Florida this memorial weekend to perform live at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg. The Reggae Ambassadors will share the stage with Marcia Griffiths on Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 7:00 pm.
The live concert, which will take place outdoors, is not the only – order of business – that the group will be focusing on this weekend. The band will spend some time in the studio working on a recording with Marcia Griffith for their soon to be released album, Patriots. One of the many artists that will be featured on the album, Marcia is known globally as the Queen of Reggae and for her hit single Electric Boogie which gave birth to the Electric Slide dance. The group also collaborated with Dean Frasier, Damian and Stephen Marley, Junior Reid, Michael Rose, Tarrus Riley and Toots.

The group will also be working on finalizing the video for single By My Side featuring Tessanne Chin which is currently scheduled for premiere on June 18, 2010. Tessanne Chin and William “Bunny Rugs” Clarke debut their duet for fans during the live rehearsal stream on Saturday, May 8, 2010. The live stream which was viewed by over 7,500 fans from the United States, UK, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean, was streamed on http://www.ination.tv/thirdworldbandlive and http://www.thirdworldband.com. The stream was re-broadcast on May 13, 2010 and continues to be available for viewing on ination.tv. The live stream was also shown on TEMPO Network in the Caribbean. As stated by William “Bunny Rugs” Clarke, “the live stream was such a phenomenal experience. For the fans to be able to watch us rehearse live, ask questions via chat rooms and hear singles from our upcoming album was something that I am still not able to wrap my mind around. It was such an amazing experience that we are in the planning stages to do it again soon.”
