Providenciales, 30 Mar 2015 – Not the kind of indigenous support some were hoping the show would get, but the Everyman 20 Reunion Concert featuring the legendary Everyman group put on an outstanding show…

Julian Garland, singer: “I mean the guys sound like they’ve just started – fresh – really really good, I am enjoying myself , I am learning a lot, I am still learning and we’re all having a good time here tonight.”

During the Saturday night event, Joe Zahm a founding member and writer of many of the hit songs of Everyman was honored for believing in TCI musical talent when no one else would. Crayton Ewing, recording artist made the surprise presentation. “It was difficult because nobody had confidence in us as locals as musicians, so it was a barrier and we had to go out there and fight to play in those hotels – politically, from all angles. Joe heard us playing and Joe decided he was going to give us an opportunity for us to be able to maximize our full potential here in the Turks and Caicos Islands, even abroad – that’s how Everyman came about.”

Everyman gives to Clement Howell High ahead of Reunion show

Deandrea S Hamilton — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:23:51 +0000

Providenciales, 26 Mar 2015 – The music program of Clement Howell High was invited to bring a list of needs to the members of legendary TCI music group, Everyman, as Joe Zahm promised a donation to the program. The school was gathered for a special assembly where they heard the story of how Beautiful by Nature was chosen as the country’s tourism slogan.

“The three finalists were: ‘Turks and Caicos Discover the Undiscovered’; ‘Turks and Caicos the Forgotten Islands’, and ‘Turks and Caicos Beautiful by Nature’ but we liked all three of them, but we felt the forgotten islands wasn’t accurate, because we wanted to discovered and found and obviously we have been; and so that is how ‘Beautiful by Nature’ came to be, and Leo and I wrote the song, it’s a fully homegrown product.”

The performance by the group was a hit and Zahm reminded that the school will open the Saturday night reunion concert, which is set at Blue Haven Resort this weekend.

“In addition to Everyman, my band JZB and the Jay Davidson Horn section which will play with both bands, we have V6 from Grand Turk playing on Saturday in addition to the (CHHS) choir, and we’re going to have a special performance by Mr. Quinten (right here) and Crayton Ewing, who is coming in; Cray, as many knows is one of the top performers of the Turks and Caicos Islands as well as a surprise performance.”
