Terry Linen heading for New York after hiatus

Reggae artiste Terry Linen is set to return to New York City in July for the first time in 10 years.

"The first time I performed in the US, I was on a tour with Sanchez, promoting my debut album titled Terry Linen, in 2000. Since then, I've performed all over the States. Everywhere I've been, I've always received a warm reception. But there's something magical about performing in New York," he said.

The singer, who shot to fame in the late 1990s with a cover version of Whitney Houston's Your Love Is My Love, is the headline act for Pastor Sheldon Evans's Gospel Cruise. This event is scheduled to take place onboard the Liberty Belle cruise ship, which will be docked at the Brooklyn Army Terminal on July 7. This year's staging of Pastor Sheldon Evans's Gospel Cruise will also feature performances from Prodigal Son, Natalie Evans, Emrand Henry, and DJ Kester Deane.

"I'm looking forward to this event. I can't wait to reconnect with my fan base in New York, and I am sure some new fans will be added to the list after this upcoming performance. Over the years, a lot of persons living in New York who have never seen me perform live have reached out to me via social media, expressing their desire to see me on stage. Now the time has come and I'm going to make it worth the wait," said Terry Linen.

He continued, "I plan to deliver a healing performance for my fans in New York. They've been waiting for a very long time to see me. I'm going to make up for my absence by giving them something to treasure for a lifetime. My music is not just reggae music; it's healing music, and I'm going deliver the healing when I touch the stage."

Terry Linen is currently enjoying much attention with songs such as God Is My Weakness, Money Games, No Longer A Slave and Just Say Yes.
