Beres Hammond

If you’re down with reggae music that has soul, Beres Hammond might just be what you’re looking for. With a career that began in the 70’s Hammond has achieved vast success in the music business. His powerful reggae can be compared to a blend between Bob Marley and Buju Banton, a magical sound that might make you wish you were sipping a glass of rum on a beach in Jamaica. Hammond prides himself on the vibes he creates, and you’ll be sure to feel them if you are in the audience on Sunday night (Jan. 21) for his show at the Icon. Expect the classic hits along with some funky new grooves. Marcia Griffiths opens the show, and tickets are $17advance and $20/at the door (7pm)
