Reggae singer, Courtney John is spreading his musical wings and enjoying the flight. The artiste last year went on tour with reggae's number one balladeer, Beres Hammond, and is still on a musical high from that experience.

John. it has been amazing

"It was just awesome being there and seeing the response of the fans to Beres," he told the Observer at the time.

Come 2009 and Courtney John, whose star has been in the ascendancy since the release of Miss You, a single which found its way on the award-winning Reggae Jammin, Volume I - has now linked with none other than punk/rock/reggae band Michael Franti and Spearhead. The group visited Jamaica late last year, to rave reviews.

In an interview with the Observer while on tour of the United States, he sounded upbeat as he related his newest experience. "It has been amazing," he declared, adding that he joined the tour on February 11 and "we have played in Minneapolis, Indianpolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Georgia to all sold out crowds".

Reggae songstress, Cherine Anderson, is also on the tour.
Tomorrow, the group moves to Raleigh, North Carolina, and on Thursday it will be Ashville, where the show is already sold-out. The tour continues until March 28.
