Beres Hammond & Marcia Griffiths are two Jamaican reggae greats that have toured together on and off since 2004. Hammond has enjoyed a 30-year career of singing, songwriting and producing soulful reggae music of the lovers rock variety. Griffiths is Jamaica's longest-running and possibly most influential female vocalist, ever, though she's probably best known here for her song "Electric Boogie," which made the Electric Slide an international dance craze. The pair hit town on their "For the Love of It Tour" with support by Leon & The Peoples.
