The Soulful and Rhythmic Reggae Sounds of Jamaica’s Beres Hammond featuring Wayne Wonder & DJ Inferno to perform at Hard Rock Live on July 29

The soulful and rhythmic sounds of Jamaica’s Beres Hammond returns to Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on July 29 at 8 p.m.  Tickets go on sale Wednesday, April 27 at noon.

Over the course of a 30-plus year career, Hammond has poured his smoky-sweet voice over every kind of rhythm track, from the funked-up reggae jams of the ’70s fusion band Zap Pow to the lush instrumentation of his 1976 album Soul Reggae to the spare digital beat of his 1985 dancehall breakthrough “What One Dance Can Do.”

In 1990, his album A Love Affair for Donovan Germaine’s Penthouse label raised Hammond’s popularity to new heights. Cuts like “Tempted to Touch” and “Who Say” with Buju Banton are still as effective in the dancehall today as they were as pre-releases. The ’90s proved to be Hammond’s decade, during which he blazed a trail of modern classics for a variety of producers, from the strugglers’ anthem “Putting Up Resistance” (Tappa) to lovers’ laments like “Come Back Home” (Star Trail) and “Double Trouble” (Steely & Clevie).

In 1992, Hammond released the single “Fire.” It received critical acclaim within the Reggae music industry and it was an extremely sought after 7″ single. In 1994, he released In Control that yielded the R&B flavored single “No Disturb Sign.” His first album of the new millennium was 2001’s Music Is Life, which featured an appearance by Wyclef Jean, and contributions from Earl “Chinna” Smith and Flourgon, received a Grammy nomination.

Hammond’s most recent releases are A Moment In Time (2008) featuring guest spots by Jamaica’s finest musicians and Just a Man (2010).
