Season five commences with Jah Lil and Johnson expressed her enthusiasm saying: “The Harry J Live Couch Series has always been about showcasing the essence of Jamaican music in a personal setting. This season, we’re excited to feature such an extraordinary group of artistes who each carry a powerful message and sound on a new couch. It’s also a reminder that after 50 years the magic that happens at Harry J Studio is still potent and remains a place with so much history and soul.”
The Harry J Live Couch Series will be released on the Harry J Studio’s YouTube page every other week (from November 24, 2024 - January 19, 2025) with one song being premiered by Reggaeville every other Friday commencing on November 22. Season 5 is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Uppsala Reggae Festival and VP Records.
Since its inception in 2020, the Harry J Live Couch Series started as a tribute to Bob Andy when he transitioned; as a celebration of his life and the work he created at Harry J Studio as a friend of the late Harry Johnson, founder of Harry J Recording Studio. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the series evolved as musical therapy for reggae lovers who were unable to experience live shows physically. Over the four year period it has set itself apart by offering live music performances to audiences globally through a virtual space where artistes can deliver authentic performances that feel personal and resonate deeply.
