Soulful Jamaican Reggae artist Beres Hammond to Preform at The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Friday, August 29, 2014
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL-- (Monday, July 14, 2014) — Soulful Jamaican Reggae artist Beres Hammond and his “One Love One Life” Tour featuring the Harmony House Musicians and DJ Inferno has scheduled a stop at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Friday, August 29, 2014 at 8:00PM.
A soulful crooner, Beres Hammond’s dusky, emotive voice has made him a major figure in the lovers rock movement as well as an influence on dancehall. Throughout his five decade-spanning career, Hammond has also delved into conscious roots reggae, hip-hop fusion and contemporary R&B.
Hammond’s stellar career was launched in the 1970s with the release of “One Step Ahead,” a blockbuster single which stayed at Number One on the charts for 14 weeks. In the 1980s he cemented his name with the smash “Tempted to Touch,” and subsequent albums “Love Affair,” “Full Attention” (1993), “In Control” (1994), “Love From a Distance” (1996), “A Day In The Life” (1998), “Music is Life” (2011) and “One Love One Life” (2012), which topped the Billboard Reggae Chart.
In 2013, he was awarded the Order of Jamaica by the Jamaican government in recognition of his "exceptional and dedicated contribution to the Jamaican music industry". In January 2014, the album “One Love One Life” was nominated for a GRAMMY.
