    Hear heavyweight R&B and island pop recording artist Iyaz in a free concert at Bear Mountain on Saturday, January 30.

    Sponsored by Power 106, Iyaz is a British Virgin Islands artist whose hit song “Replay.” the first hit single released from his upcoming CD “My Life,” has taken the charts by storm. “Replay” opened at #96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since climbed to #2, and it’s already hit the top spot on the UK charts after being released less than a week.

    Iyaz is a 22-year-old singer, songwriter and rapper whose reggae-infused R&B is inspired by island shorties, wireless romance, and unrequited love. His second single “Solo” is a pop-friendly tune.

    Iyaz is not the only concert on tap at Bear this month. On Sat., Feb. 26 KAMP is bringing a live band still to be determined to the resort as well and weekends often see bands playing in The Boardroom.

    Peeking ahead, alternative rock band Smile Empty Soul is at Bear on March 12. Formed in 1998, the grunge band’s first, self-titled debut album was certified gold in the U.S. The second album, “Vultures” has also performed well and recent gigs by the band include shows at Buffalo Bill’s Casino in Primm.
