Information/Write-up

George Banton began his singing career in the churches of St. Elizabeth parish in Jamaica. He emigrated to Canada in 1976 and began performing various styles and scored a number-one R&B hit with “Faithful and True” in the early 80s. Other hits followed, including the self-penned “Honey I Will”. He has been twice nominated for the coveted JUNO Award and continues to touch audiences in Toronto and beyond with a style that reaches from Joe Tex to ZZ Hill and a soulful delivery that remains forever connected to the church choirs of Jamaica.
