Still rid­ing high on the mo­men­tum of an ul­tra-suc­cess­ful 2012 T&T Car­ni­val sea­son, Caribbean mu­sic act Kes The Band, will elec­tri­fy the Big Ap­ple with its sig­na­ture "Is­land Pop" sound. The cel­e­brat­ed Trinida­di­an en­sem­ble will dis­play its ver­sa­til­i­ty, vi­bran­cy and glob­al ap­peal in its first post-fes­ti­val North Amer­i­can ap­pear­ance which takes place on March 9, at the renowned Best Buy The­ater in glitzy Man­hat­tan, NYC on the door step of the world's most vis­it­ed tourist at­trac­tion Times Square. The high­ly an­tic­i­pat­ed event, en­ti­tled Kes All In, is be­ing pro­duced by in­ter­na­tion­al pro­mot­ers ShorBlu Events and Big and Strong Pro­mo­tions, and is sure to ap­pease the mu­sic tastes of many in ad­di­tion to those who re­cent­ly re­turned from Trinidad and To­ba­go's Car­ni­val.

Af­ter a thun­der­ous 2011 which saw Kes achiev­ing many mu­si­cal mile­stones which in­clude head­lin­ing sev­er­al shows across the US, Cana­da, Eu­rope and Asia as well as ex­cit­ing au­di­ences with its fea­ture per­for­mance on FOX 5's Good Day New York the band mem­bers are thrilled to be head­ing back to the em­pire state. The band has not on­ly shared stages with glob­al chart-top­pers the likes of Ma­roon 5, John Leg­end, Sug­ar Ray and Ri­han­na but has al­so re­leased sev­er­al crossover Caribbean Pop songs such as Stalk­er, Let Me Know, Red Light and Take Me Away.

Most re­cent­ly lead vo­cal­ist and 2011 In­ter­na­tion­al Groovy So­ca Monarch Kees Di­ef­fen­thaller un­leashed a jaw drop­ping col­lab­o­ra­tion with ac­claimed US rap­per Snoop Dogg on the mon­ster track Stress Away. At Kes All In pa­trons will be able to soak in the So­ca vibes as the band de­liv­ers its fan favourites such as Com­ing Over, Right Dey, Thun­der, Where Yuh From and Wot­less, per­form­ing to the back­drop of the world fa­mous Time Square. Join­ing Kes at the Best Buy The­atre will be the ever swanky Ben­jai and Ca­lyp­so icon David Rud­der. Rud­der, a for­mer Ca­lyp­so Monarch, and Road March cham­pi­on known for his cat­a­logue of clas­sics which in­clude High Mas, The Ham­mer and Bahia Girl will bring a high lev­el of en­ter­tain­ment val­ue and West In­di­an en­er­gy to the chic, trendy Man­hat­tan es­tab­lish­ment which has housed sev­er­al pop­u­lar con­tem­po­rary mu­sic acts.
