Caribbean musical sensation, Tarrus Riley, is expected to headline a major concert set for Saturday, February 9, 2013, on Grand Bahama.

  According to reports, organizers of the big event have partnered with the Urban Renewal Programme to bring in the new year with a spirit of love and community. A public relations consultant involved with the planning said on Wednesday that Riley is a true loving and passionate Caribbean son, and his love for The Bahamas and its people is well noted.

"Tarrus Riley made it clear that he absolutely wanted to be a part of any celebration during the 40th Anniversary of Independence and demanded that Bahamian artists would celebrate with him..."
