Beres brings the love
Valentine's Day may be gone, but legendary Jamaican artist Beres Hammond is set to bring the romance back tonight when he hits the stage in The Bahamas.
Hammond, who is known for his love music and soulful voice, has been wooing Bahamian crowds for years.
The 57-year-old reggae singer has performed eight times in New Providence with the promotions company Above the Rim Productions. His ninth Bahamian concert, "A Night of Love", is scheduled for the Wyndham Nassau Resort, Cable Beach at 10 p.m.
Hammond is best known for hits such as "No Disturb Sign", "She Loves Me Now" and "Putting Up A Resistance".
And while Hammond's melodic voice has been attracting large crowds for years, some may wonder why Bahamians continue to support his concerts. According to concert promoter J.S., the answer is simple: Bahamians love Beres and Beres loves Bahamians.
"If we had the ability to bring Beres twice a week, we'd do it and people would come out," he said.
"It's like one of the reasons people go to Bamboo Shack or one of the reasons people go to the Fish Fry. They love it. His music translates over generations. His music is not designed for just grammy, or mammy... his music speaks to grammy, mammy and their grandchildren. And it's positive music."
Another reason people should come out: There won't be a 10th anniversary anytime soon.
In fact, if you want to see Beres Hammond perform live in New Providence again, you'll have to wait three years, as the company has decided to take the Night of Love act on tour.
"Next year we're going to Turks and Caicos, the year after we're going to Freeport and the year after we're doing a boat cruise," J.S. said.
"So this is one of the rare moments that people will have an opportunity to watch Beres perform."
But if those aren't reasons enough for you to attend the concert, promoter Al Jolley said that Above the Rim Productions knows how to put on an exciting show.
"Above the Rim is celebrating 25 years," Jolly said. "So we have been in this for quite some time now. It's definitely going to be a show. Beres also knows how to put on a show. He is a crowd pleaser. Everyone enjoys his music.
"We keep bringing him back by popular demand. His music just brings something out in a person. As a matter of fact, I think I was [conceived] when my mom and dad were listening to Beres Hammond's music."
And just to sweeten the pot, Jolly added that there will be a special surprise.
"I can't say anything about that. Come out and see. Like the song says, if you don't believe me, just watch," he added.
Joining Beres Hammond on the stage tonight will be Canadian R&B Grammy Award winning artist Melanie Fiona, who is best known for her hit song "4 AM".
Jolly said this will be Fiona's first time performing in The Bahamas.
Jamaican dancehall artist Christopher Martin, who is best known in The Bahamas for his song "Cheaters Prayer", is also scheduled to perform.
Well-known Bahamian artist Sammi Starr and R&B artist Julien Believe will also hit the stage.
"A Night of Love" concert usually takes place in November, however the promoters decided to change the date this year.
"February is more suited for a night of love," Jolly said. "This is just the love month."
The concert was originally to take place on Saturday, but the promoters changed the date to Friday to not compete with another concert taking place this weekend.
Tickets range between $50 and $150. Tickets come with either a complimentary glass of wine, champagne or both. VIP, platinum and double platinum tickets are available at the Reef Restaurant, the Wyndham box office, Signature Styles, Gizmos & Gadgets and Racks Liquor Store.

Hugh Edison Minnis, Sr., 44
THE LIFE & TIMES OF
SGT. 2161 HUGH EDISON MINNIS, SR.
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1
It is said every life has its own pathway and Journey to follow and thus was the life of Hugh Edison Minnis. Affectionately called "Edison or Minnis".
A Time to Be Born
On March 31st, 1968 a bouncing, bright eyed baby boy was born to the parentage of William Minnis and Ethral Higgs both deceased. He was given the names Hugh Edison, which means "Bright in Mind and Spirit" and was the second of two sons born to this couple. As he grew he lived up to his name, playing and pulling tricks on his friends and siblings which led them to say he was mischievous. Being an energetic and enthusiastic child he was often inquisitive, always asking questions and wanting to know "who and what was happening". He also liked acquiring the latest gadgets and toys so he could play with and dismantle them to see how they worked. We just had to mention that he was a mama's boy! He was her baby boy and would tattle on all the other children to "Mammy" as he affectionately called her. Even though his siblings would be mad, he didn't care he received hugs and treats from Mammy for being the watchman. His childhood was an adventurous and happy one.
A Time For Education and Career
He was educated through the government school system, where he attended the Claridge Primary School, C. I. Gibson Jr. and then moved onto the R. M. Bailey High School, where he excelled in track and field and received other academic accolades. Edison was an industrious young man and found early employment at the Lyford Cay Club where he served as a Waiter for a number of years. He then moved to Super Value Ltd, where he was employed as the Produce Manager until he was called by the Royal Bahamas Police Force in 1991, and was a part of the B and C Squad 1991-1992. As an upright Officer he worked tirelessly and respectfully in a career that he held very dear for twenty-one years. Even after being diagnosed with his illness, he never shirked his duties because he knew what he was working towards. Being recently promoted to the rank of Sargent, he was very proud and appreciative, and felt that his labor was not in vain.
A Time For Family Life
Edison loved people and loved life. In the year 1991 Inez Minnis (nee Nottage) caught his eye. They dated for many years before jumping the broom in 1994 and making a commitment to love and cherish until death did they part.
Time For Challenges
Edison became ill and was diagnosed with kidney failure. He bravely fought and ran his race, and on Monday 23rd, April 2012 he passed away and was called home in the late evening hours.
He called his sister just a few days before and said "Nicky this place is like heaven, you'll should come and see, my body feels so good and it's so peaceful here." His pain is no more and he is resting. "To God Be The Glory."
