Reggae Singer Tarrus Riley has been on a whirlwind 'Contagious' tour in the United States and the Caribbean promoting his third album 'Contagious' which was released in July.

THE STAR got some exclusive pictures from the tour which started in Tortola in July and ends with Irie Jamboree in New York in September.

The tour features Duane Stephenson, Dean Fraser and the Black Soil band. Riley told THE STAR, "it's been real nice, the music part has been great, the music is really catching on, a big difference from last year. This is my second real tour 'Tarrus Riley' style and the crowds are larger and there are new venues. You can really see the support."

According to Riley some of the songs from the new album that have become popular with audiences is Human Nature and Start Anew.
