BERES HAMMOND with the HARMONY HOUSE SINGERS & BAND
LIVE IN CONCERT AT CLUB SODA - MONTREAL
with special guests Mikey Dangerous & King Shadrock

MONTREAL, QC (August 1, 2008) – Jamaican musical legend Beres Hammond will return to the United States and Canada from July 30th to September 7th for his highly anticipated tour, celebrating his upcoming VP Records album A MOMENT IN TIME.  Beres, along with the Harmony House Singers & Band will grace the city of Montreal on Thursday, August 28th at Club Soda.  Opening the Montreal show will be 2008 Juno Award Winner Mikey Dangerous, and local favourite King Shadrock.  Pre and post show music will be provided by Montreal heavyweights Little Thunder, Nighthawk International, DJ Soul, and Toronto’s own Mista Jiggz, and DJ Chocolate. 
 
On the tour, fans can look forward to hear Beres’ timeless classics as well as brand new material from his eagerly awaited album, set for release on October 14, 2008. 

BERES HAMMOND
Known to many as the originator of “Lover’s Rock” or the “Otis Redding of Reggae,” Beres Hammond has been writing, producing and pouring out his smoky-sweet voice over every kind of riddim track for over 3 decades. From his early days as the lead singer of the ’70s funk-reggae infused band Zap Pow, Beres has consistently produced hits and number one singles.

While newcomers today are searching for a breakthrough hit and old timers are plotting their comeback, Beres is a study in longevity. He released his first studio album, SOUL REGGAE in 1976 spawning the number one hit “One Step Ahead” and in 1985 the dancehall breakthrough “What One Dance Can Do” off his self entitled album.

Hammond has collaborated with Reggae’s elite—and has worked with legendary producers like Willie Lindo, Steely and Clevie, and Philip “Fattis” Burrell.

In 1990, his album A LOVE AFFAIR from Donovan Germain’s Penthouse label raised his popularity to new heights. Cuts like “Tempted To Touch” and “Who Say” with Buju Banton are still huge in the dancehall today. During the ’90s, Beres 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).

In 2001, Beres brought us major hits like “They Gonna Talk” and “Rock Away” from his Grammy-nominated album MUSIC IS LIFE. VP Records then released THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION: CAN’T STOP A MAN in 2003 to commemorate Hammond’s career, and in 2004 his most recent album LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES, which features his familiar romantic ballads and mid-tempo dancehall grooves.

MIKEY DANGEROUS
Mikey Dangerous’ many years of hard work and talent have been enjoyed by many fans, and equally recognized by critics and the media; he has been nominated at the Canadian Reggae Music Awards, the Reggae Music Achievement Awards, and was the winner of the 2008 Juno Award for Reggae Recording of the Year for his hit single, “Don’t Go Pretending.” His voice is rich and strong, his lyrics are hard-hitting and while on stage, he skillfully manoeuvres through a diverse musical canon ranging from lovers rock to conscious roots to dancehall. He has performed in the Caribbean and across North America, recently appearing and headlining at the Montreal International Reggae Festival.  He is also one of the headline acts at the 5th Annual Calgary Reggae Festival being held this August.  His energy and fire are undeniable and have always been contagious to his many appreciative audiences.
 
KING SHADROCK
There are very few Canadian reggae artists who achieve success and acclaim in more than one city, and Jamaican-born Shadrock has done that very well, shuttling back and forth between Toronto and Montreal performing his hit songs like “Shotta,” “Shadrock,” and “Moving Forward.” His 2005 album MOVING FORWARD charted in Seychelles, South Africa, Toronto and Montreal, and garnered him the Toronto International Reggae Music Award for best single for “Shotta.” Not content to rest on his laurels, this talented artist (who’s still known affectionately by some as “Little Buju” because of his appealing baritone) continues to record and release singles.  Shadrock has been busy touring everywhere from South Africa to Jamaica, and has appeared on countless concerts in Canada as well, from the Calgary Reggae festival to Toronto’s Jamaica Day and Irie Festivals to Quebec’s Mystic Mountain Reggae Bash.

The August 28th Montreal show is sponsored in part by Montreal Community Contact, CKUT 90.3FM, K103.7FM, CISM 89.3FM, Montrealdancehall.com, Triple AAA Entertainment, and VP Records.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE
Pour diffusion immédiate

BERES HAMMOND avec le HARMONY HOUSE SINGERS & BAND
EN CONCERT LIVE AU CLUB SODA - MONTREAL
Avec invites spéciaux Mikey Dangerous et King Shadrock

MONTREAL, QC (1 août, 2008) – La légende de la musique Beres Hammond fera un retour aux États-Unis et au Canada du 30 juillet au 7 septembre pour une tournée très anticipée célébrant son album sur VP Records A MOMENT IN TIME.  Beres, avec le Harmony House Singers & Band graciera la ville de Montréal jeudi le 28 août au Club Soda.  L’ouverture du concert à Montréal sera assurée par le gagnant d’un trophée Juno en 2008, Mikey Dangerous, ainsi que par l’artiste local très prisé King Shadrock.  La musique avant et après le spectacle sera présentée par les poids lourds de Montréal Little Thunder, Nighthawk International, DJ Soul et tout droit de Toronto Mista Jiggz et DJ Chocolate.

Pendant la tournée, les fans peuvent s’attendre à entendre des classiques sans âge de Beres Hammond ainsi que du nouveau matériel provenant de son album très attendu, qui est à paraître le 14 octobre 2008.

BERES HAMMOND
Connu par plusieurs comme l’instigateur du “Lover’s Rock” ou encore du “Otis Redding of Reggae,” Beres Hammond écrit, produit et chante de sa voix douce et suave sur tous les types de chansons riddim depuis plus de trois décennies.  Depuis ses premiers jours en tant que chanteur du groupe fuck-reggae des années 70, Zap Pow, Beres a produit avec consistance des hits et singles. 

Tandis que les nouveaux venus d’aujourd’hui cherchent pour un hit qui percera les palmarès et que les plus vieux complotent pour leur retour sur scène, Beres est une étude sur la longévité en soi.  Il présenta son premier album studio en 1976, SOUL REGGAE,qui engendra le hit numéro un “One Step Ahead” ainsi qu’en 1985 la percée dancehall “What One Dance Can Do” de son album éponyme. 

Monsieur Hammond a collaboré avec l’élite du reggae - et a travaillé avec des producteurs légendaires tells que Willie Lindo, Steely and Clevie, ainsi qu’avec Philip “Fattis” Burrell. 

En 1990, son album A LOVE AFFAIR de l’étiquette Donovan Germain’s Penthouse a fait en sorte que sa popularité a atteint de nouveaux sommets.  Des chansons comme “Tempted To Touch” et “Who Say” avec Buju Banton sont toujours aussi populaires dans les dancehalls aujourd’hui.  Pendant les années 90, Beres présenta une série de classiques modernes pour une variété de producteurs, de l’anthologie des combatifs avec “Putting Up Resistance” (Tappa) aux amants en peine avec “Come Back Home” (Star Trail).

En 2001, Beres nous a apportés des hits majeurs tels que “They Gonna Talk” et “Rock Away” de son album nominé aux Grammys, MUSIC IS LIFE.  L’étiquette VP Records a ensuite diffusé THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION: CAN’T STOP A MAN en 2003 pour commémorer la carrière de Hammond.  De plus, son plus récent album paru en 2004, LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES, présente ses ballades romantiques familières et des grooves dancehall mid-tempo. 

MIKEY DANGEROUS
Les multiples années de dur labeur et le talent de Mikey Dangerous a fait le bonheur de plusieurs fans, des critiques et des médias ; il a été nominé aux Canadian Reggae Music Awards, le Reggae Music Achievement Awards et il fut le gagnant du prix Juno 2008 pour le Reggae Recording of the Year pour son hit single, “Don’t Go Pretending”.  Sa voix est riche et forte, ses paroles frappent fort et, sur scène, il manœuvre avec grand talent une panoplie de styles du Lovers Rock au Conscious Roots au Dancehall.  Il a performé dans les Caraïbes et à travers l’Amérique du Nord, Mikey a récemment été la tête d’affiche et fait de multiples apparitions au Festival International de Reggae de Montréal.  Il est de plus une tête d’affiche pour le 5th Annual Calgary Reggae Festival qui aura lieu cet août.  Son énergie et son feu sacré sont indéniables et ont toujours été contagieux pour son public. 

KING SHADROCK
Il y a très peu d’artistes reggae canadiens qui peuvent atteindre un succès tel et êtres acclamés dans plus d’une ville.  C’est le cas du Jamaïcain d’origine Shadrock, allant de Toronto à Montréal et interprétant ses succès tels que “Shotta,” “Shadrock,” et “Moving Forward”.  En 2005, son album MOVING FORWARD a fait les palmarès aux Seychelles en Afrique du sud, à Toronto et à Montréal et à mérité un prix Toronto International Reggae Music Award pour meilleur single avec le titre “Shotta”.  Insatisfait de rester sur ses lauriers, cet artiste talentueux (que certains appellent encore affectueusement “Little Buju” dû à sa voix de baryton) continue à enregistrer et diffuser des singles.  Shadrock a été occupé à faire des tournées partout de l’Afrique du Sud à la Jamaïque et a fait apparition dans un nombre incalculable de concerts au Canada, du Calgary Reggae Festival au Jamaïca Day et au Irie Festivals à Toronto ainsi qu’au Mystic Mountain Reggae Bash, au Québec. 

Le spectacle du 28 août est en partie commandité par Montreal Community Contact, CKUT 90.3FM, K103.7FM, CISM 89.3FM, Montrealdancehall.com, Triple AAA Entertainment, et VP Records.

À propos de Brown Eyes Entertainment
Établis en 1998, Brown Eyes Entertainment s’est élevé pour devenir une des compagnies de promotion d’événements les mieux cotées de l’Ontario.  Tandis qu’initialement la compagnie créait et produisait des événements universitaires et collégiaux majeurs dans des villes tels que Kitchener-Waterloo, London et Kingston ; en 2002, le focus de la compagnie s’est dirigée vers le marché de Toronto.  Plus récemment, Brown Eyes Entertainment a gagné le Concert Promoter of the Year au 2008 Reggae Music Achievement Awards et a depuis concrétisé son expansion sur le marché Montréalais.  À travers l’histoire, Brown Eyes Entertainment a présenté des événements mettant en vedette plusieurs artistes et DJ de marque du Canada incluant Kardinal Offishall, Jully Black, Brassmunk, Choclair, the Rascalz, Starting From Scratch, Dr. Jay, Baby Yu et plus.  Nous avons aussi présentés des événements mettant en vedette des artistes de calibre international tels que D12, Beenie Man, Sergio Mendes, Beres Hammond, Sly and Robbie & The Taxi Gang, Gregory Isaacs, Marcia Griffiths, Queen Ifrica, 112, Baby Cham, Capleton, Collie Buddz, Etana, Cherine Anderson, and Jin the Emcee.
