"ONE LIFE TO LIVE" – new release from CAUSION
The uncertainty of destiny inspired ‘One Life to Live’, the latest song from Causion which is scheduled for release today. It is derived from a heart-rending incident the singer witnessed over 30 years ago.
That episode was so impactful, he co-wrote ‘One Life to Live’ with Maurice Gregory, his longtime musical collaborator. The original was released in 2005, but due to the song’s timeless message, they agreed to re-release a fresh version which both co-produced.
It is complemented by a retrospective video filmed in Antigua, Causion’s homeland. His son, Jeron Bailey, directed the compelling visual.
‘One Life To Live’ became reality after Causion witnessed a devastating road accident while on tour during the 1990s. While watching first responders fight to save a man's life, he turned to his friend and said, 'We get up every day and never know what is in store for us. We only have one life to live.'
Those words took on new meaning seven years ago when Causion was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer, which he has battled with courage and dignity. That resilience is captured in the lyrics and video for ‘One Life to Live’.
Through Jeron Bailey and director of photography Larry Basham, the video captures the bustle of working-class Antigua.
“That's where I spent so much of my time growing up as a child in (the village of) English Harbour,” he said.
Causion is Antigua’s official Reggae Ambassador. In November, 2024, he was awarded the Commander of The Most Precious Order of Princely Heritage, the country’s fourth-highest award.

Legendary Jamaican Reggae Band Chalice Announces California Tour Dates and New Single “House of Music” Featuring Prezident Brown.
Legendary Jamaican Reggae Band Chalice Announces California Tour Dates and New Single “House of Music” Featuring Prezident Brown.
Don't miss these rare and highly anticipated appearances.
Chalice is one of Jamaica’s most respected roots reggae bands, originally emerging during reggae’s influential 1980s era. Known for their rich harmonies, conscious songwriting, and dynamic live performances, the band helped shape the sound of modern Jamaican reggae. Today, Chalice continues its legacy through new recordings, international touring, and a renewed commitment to delivering authentic reggae music to audiences worldwide. Bridging generations of reggae lovers, the band remains dedicated to preserving the culture while pushing the music forward.
Following powerful performances at The Jamaica Benefit concert inside the Hard Rock Hotel in Miramar Fl and Rebel Salute USA, the iconic reggae group Chalice continues its comeback with new music and landmark California performances. Jamaican reggae pioneers Chalice continue their highly anticipated international resurgence touring the western US this July, 2026 alongside the release of their brand-new single “House of Music,” featuring veteran reggae deejay Prezident Brown.
The announcement follows the band’s celebrated appearance at the inaugural Rebel Salute Florida USA concert on April 19, where Chalice delivered an outstanding performance that reminded audiences why the group remains one of Jamaica’s most respected and enduring reggae institutions.
This summer, Chalice will make rare and highly anticipated appearances in California with performances at:
For reggae fans across the West Coast, these performances represent a unique opportunity to experience one of Jamaica’s most influential bands live as they enter a bold new chapter. Formed in Jamaica and celebrated for classics such as Good To Be There, I’m Trying, Paise Him, Dangerous Disturbances and many more that helped define the reggae landscape of the 1980s, Chalice earned a reputation for exceptional musicianship, dynamic stage performances, and a fearless commitment to artistic originality. While many bands from the era have faded into history, Chalice’s story continues to evolve. Today, guided by founding member Wayne Armond and early member drummer Phanso Wilson, the band consists of a revitalized lineup that honors its legacy while embracing the future.
The group’s latest single, “House of Music,” captures that spirit wonderfully. Featuring acclaimed reggae veteran Prezident Brown, the track celebrates the unifying power of music, culture, and community while showcasing Chalice’s signature blend of lyrics, infectious grooves, and timeless musicianship.
“This comeback is about more than nostalgia,” says Wayne Armond. “It’s about honoring where we’ve come from while continuing to create music that speaks to people today. House of Music represents that journey and our commitment to keeping reggae vibrant, relevant, and uplifting.”
For longtime fans, Chalice’s return offers a chance to reconnect with a beloved chapter of reggae history. For newer audiences, it is an opportunity to discover a band whose influence and authenticity continue to resonate across generations.
As the band prepares for new recordings, expanded touring, and a renewed global presence, these California dates mark another important milestone in a comeback that is quickly becoming one of reggae’s most inspiring stories.

“Dream a world of harmony… without hatred, without war” taps into a theme you’ll hear across a lot of roots reggae—very much in the spirit of artists like Bob Marley, where music isn’t just for vibes, it’s also about social vision and healing.
That “world all children see” line is especially powerful—it suggests that peace isn’t something complicated we have to invent, but something we’ve kind of forgotten as we grow up.
