And finally, a very special show:
On Thursday, the 13th of September, Half Pint will host a party in West Hollywood, California to celebrate the launching of his brand new CD No Stress Express. In addition to being a CD release party, the event will also be raising funds for the Jamaica 360 Foundation. The Special Guests who will perform with Half Pint have not been revealed yet.
Last month, Half Pint was honored by the mayor of Hartford, Connecticut for his contribution to music and life. Mayor Eddie Perez has declared August 11th to hereby be known as Lindon “Half Pint” Roberts Day and should be spent in celebration and acknowledgment of his important contributions to the global Jamaican diaspora.
The party will be held at the KEY CLUB

Half Pint also made headline news in May of this year when he received a very special “Producer’s Respect Award” as part of the International Reggae and World Music Awards.
