I AM CARIBBEING Presents A Holiday Speakeasy: Lime & Lyrics, Volume IV feat. Archie Miller
Settle into the season with an intimate night of storytelling, song, and Caribbean soul at Lime & Lyrics, part of our Holiday Speakeasy Series. This special edition features legendary Bajan calypsonian Archie Miller—a cultural keeper whose five-decade journey spans music, community, leadership, and lyrical mastery.
From his early days performing with Barbados’ Campers 72 and the Methodist Youth Congress Chorale, to his breakout hit “Left Right Center” and iconic appearance at the Apollo, Archie has long been a force in Caribbean music. His collaborations with giants like The Mighty Gabby and Grynner, along with his work in the URBONY Ensemble, speak to his unwavering commitment to preserving and evolving the calypso tradition.
What to Expect:
🎶 Live performance + lyrical reflections from Archie’s rich catalog
📖 Stories behind the songs — from Crop Over Jam to Rum Shop Anthem and More Tuk
🍹 Caribbean refreshments + warm vibes
🎁 A heartfelt celebration of heritage, rhythm, and resilience
Whether you’re a lifelong calypso lover or discovering Archie for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to lime with a living legend and soak in the sounds of the season.
