Amongst the best artists of Lovers Rock music is Beres Hammond. His music career began after joining local Jamaican singing contests, leading to his recording debut. At the start of his career, he became the lead singer of the Jamaican reggae band Zap Pow. In 1976, he started to produce hits in Jamaica with the songs One Step Ahead" (1976) and "I'm in Love" (1978). After leaving the band, he created Tuesday's Children, a harmony group. He later transitioned to the dancehall genre after it started to become popular during the 80s. "Groovy Little Thing" and "What One Dance Can Do" are his most recognized songs in the genre. The latter also warmed him up to international popularity.
With a career that started in the 70s, Hammond soared during the 90s, a time in which lovers rock was becoming radio's favorite genre to play. "Tempted to Touch" became his most recognizable song internationally. His 2002 album "Music is Life" earned him a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
The celebrated reggae icon will be performing in select US cities. One of these is the NYCB Theatre at Westbury in Jericho, New York, on Saturday, October 29. Jamaican jazz pianist Monty Alexander and Jamaican saxophonist Dean Fraser will add more color to his performance. Tickets for this concert are now available. Just click the "Get Tickets" button.
