Beres Hammond and
Marcia Griffiths Shine on Love Has No Boundaries Tour 2005
(March, 15 2005-New
York) With a combined 60+ years in
the music business, and two brand new releases on VP Records, reggae soul
crooner Beres Hammond, and the first lady of reggae, Marcia
Griffiths embark on a national tour across the US. In a continuation
of the highly successful “For the Love of It” Tour in 2004, the pair have
once again decided to grace the stages of North America. Since last
year’s tour, Beres Hammond has released his critically acclaimed “Love
Has No Boundaries” and Marcia Griffiths is set to release her new
album “Shining Time”. As two of the most respected voices in
Jamaica, Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths continue to remain at the top
of the reggae music industry. The Love Has No Boundaries Tour 2005 kicks
off May 26th in Jacksonville, Florida and continues across the
country until late July.
Grammy nominated Beres
Hammond, known for hits like “Putting up Resistance”, “They
Gonna Talk”, and “Rockaway”, continues to add to his repertoire
with tracks like “There for You”, “Pride and Joy”, and “All
for Me”, from his recent release “Love Has No Boundaries”
(2004, VP Records). This legendary crooner with a seemingly endless
supply of creative energy and enthusiasm during his performances will
undoubtedly thrill audiences with the Harmony House family, including R&B
singer Jimmy Cozier, who is set to perform as the show opener.
Marcia Griffiths, who is a
member of the I-Three’s along with Judy Mowatt and Rita Marley, had an
international hit with The Electric Boogie Slide that has become an anthem
for synchronized line dances across the world. Her new album “Shining
Time” (2005, VP Records) has the essential sound from Marcia Griffiths
that fans have come to know and love. With feature tracks “Bring Back
the Love”, “Back in the Days”, and “Focusing Time”
featuring none other than Beres Hammond, Marcia along with executive
producer Hopeton Lindo have really given something for the fans to
enjoy. The set also includes a tribute to Bob Marley on his 60th
birthday, “Crazy Baldheads”.
In addition to
collaborating on Focusing Time, previous songs like “Live On”,
featured on the recent VP Records retrospective “Beres Hammond the
Ultimate Collection-Can’t Stop a Man”, show the long standing
relationship between these legendary reggae artists. This definitive duo
will undoubtedly enlighten crowds across the United States with some of
their tremendous catalog of hits, and highly anticipated duets.
