Grammy-Nominated Reggae Icon Beres Hammond On North American Tour

Singer Beres Hammond

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Aug. 14, 2014: Grammy-nominated reggae icon Beres Hammond, known to many as the “Otis Redding of Reggae,” is currently bringing his sweet sounds to fans as he continues his 2014 North American tour throughout August.

Tomorrow he will play the Hilton-Lac Leamy Casino in Hull Quebec, Ottawa, Canada

Hammond has been producing and pouring out his smoky-sweet vocals over every kind of riddim track for almost 40 years . His latest double-disc studio album, ‘One Love, One Life,’ released November 11, 2012 on VP Records, peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Reggae Album chart and was hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the best albums of a four-decade-long career.”

The first disc. ‘One Love.’ includes his signature classic lover’s rock sound, while the second disc ‘One Life.’ contains more of his socially-conscious, spiritually empowering tunes.

Hammond produced 19 of the 20 songs with co-producers Donovan Germain on “No Candle Light,” Collin “Bulby” York on “In My Arms” and Michael Fletcher on “More Time.”

Hammond performs non-stop around the globe. In the United States, he has repeatedly sold out some of the largest and most prestigious venues including the Barclays Center, Theatre at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. In December 2012, he made his national U.S. television debut on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, performing alongside The Roots. He is also a star favorite of Rihanna, Drake, Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas and Wyclef Jean.
