Cam Greenlee's grandparents came to Block Island many years ago and purchased a home on Cormorant Cove. The house served as the backdrop to Cam's first memories of an idyllic Block Island childhood. Cam's family shuttled back and forth from their home in City Island, NY to Block Island every summer. We talk with Cam about his family life and early years on Block Island and learn much about this chill dude.
Cam has since gone on to become an accomplished Reggae and Jazz musician and toured the world with groundbreaking Reggae act, "The Skatelites". Life as a musician on the road may sound glamorous but it's not the easiest or most stable life as we find out.
But Block Island has always offered Cam a sense of stability and he returns the favor with gratitude and action. As the creator and curator of Conserfest, Cam has combined his love of music and Block Island into one entity with a singular purpose. The conservation of open space on Block Island is one of the things that makes it a special place. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Cam. It's pretty irie.
