Musical legends Frankie Paul and John Holt join Beres Hammond on stage at the 12th Annual Jamrock Reggae Fest. The festival will feature Frankie "Dancehall" Paul, the father of Rock Steady, John Holt along with the originator of Lover's Rock, Beres Hammond, all on one stage. Newly added acts are Culture featuring Kenyatta Hill and Lenya Wilks along with Natural Blacks. This classic lineup is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with performances at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York, on Saturday, July 18, 2009. Kenyatta Hill is the son of the late Joseph Hill, front man of Culture, the legendary vocal trio whose 1977 record "Two Sevens Clash" helped define the roots reggae genre. In August 2006, while on tour in Berlin, Germany, Joseph Hill suddenly fell ill and passed away. Kenyatta has since carried the torch successfully performing as the front man for Culture and paying tribute to his father with every performance.
