Reggae star Beres Hammond in concert

Reggae lovers’ rock icon, Beres Hammond is scheduled to perform in concert, Friday, 25 April.

The Grammy Award winning artist last performed in Cayman in 2001

The event, dubbed Return of the King, Beres Hammond and the Harmony House Band, will take place at a venue off Sparky Drive.

The reggae star is known for his sultry voice and hypnotic lyrics. His hits include, Groovy Little Thing, What One Dance Can Do, Tempted to Touch, Putting Up Resistance, No Disturb Sign, They Gonna Talk, Rock Away, Music is Life and so many more.

Hammond started 2008 on the same high that he ended 2007. He was among the headlining acts at January’s Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival. In early February, Hammond was pronounced the Reggae Role Model of The Year at the Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards in Jamaica. The honour is a testament to the musician’s success, and his ability to mentor up-and-coming performers, including Nikki Turner and Ginja. One of Hammond’s most notable mentees is Jah Cure, the prolific reggae artist whose record True Reflections. A New Beginning burned up the reggae charts in recent years.
