The Binghamton Summer Music Festival brings World Music to Norwich! “One World Tribe not only brings da funk and da noise but da reggae, R&B, dancehall, rap, African chant, Latin, rock, and enough horns and cookin' percussion to get an entire island chain moving,” says the Erie-Times News. One World Tribe was created with the premise of bringing together musicians of various racial and ethnic backgrounds in order to break down social and racial barriers. One World Tribe provides an exhilarating musical experience for all audiences. Their mix of Latin, reggae, African, jazz and Afro-Funk styles is a reflection of the diversity of the band with members from Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Senegal, Sudan and the United States. With 10 performers on stage, One World Tribe is a multicultural feast for the ears and the soul! Featuring diverse performers, instruments and musical styles One World Tribe will perform an eclectic mix of danceable music for all ages. African dance lessons are included in the fun, so bring your dancing feet!
Presented as part of the Chenango Blues Association’s free Summer Concert Series.

Folk with a big fat kick! A kick stuffed with a little folk, rock, americana,
and whatever else they decide to sprinkle in. Their lyrics will paint pictures
in your head. The three part harmonies will blow you away. The melodies will
grab you by the ear and drag you along. This is all backed by an energetic
percussionist who is sure to engage you in his visual performance style.
Held and Gliha have been playing, recording, and writing music together since 1996. In 1999, Edick started playing with Ken and Ed and the emerging band. The addition of Edick's vocals and guitar work completed the signature sound of the three part harmonies Fetish Lane is noted for. Shortly after the addition of Edick, Lorimer entered the scene as a percussionist. His energy, funky rhythms, and personality added new life to the band, especially during their live performances. After the foursome was complete, the band headed to the studio and released their first compact disc, "Acoustic Brew", on July 7th, 2001. In June of 2002, the band released a live album entitled "Live at the Majors Inn". In 2005 they released the album "Time" and 2007 marked the release of their latest studio project, "Beautiful Mule".
"Fetish Lane is feel good music... boasting harmonies reminiscent of CSNY, and feel-good percussion... This band makes me happy.” –Music Outlook Magazine
