Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffiths and Third World

Grammy-Nominated Reggae Star Beres Hammond With Marcia Griffiths & Third World

One of the reggae world's most iconic voices, Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Beres Hammond fell in love with American R&B while growing up in his native Jamaica, and today his music reflects those soulful, romantic roots. His smoky-sweet vocals have been compared to Otis Redding, but his four decades of music-making have ranged from funk to digital-infused dancehall to, of course, reggae. Marcia Griffiths, highly acclaimed as a solo artist, was also a backup singer for Bob Marley and the Wailers for seven years. Third World have shared stages with Bob Marley and the Jackson 5. Ten-time Grammy nominees, Third World received a United Nations Peace Model in 1986 for spreading their message of "peace, love and unity." Experience these three major Jamaican musical acts during this special show at Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk.
