Jamaica: Known for incredible beaches, flavorful food, reggae, and Jimmy Cliff (and Bob Marley and Peter Tosh)
Jimmy Cliff: Known for the songs “Waterfall” and “Vietnam”, his Cat Stevens rendition of “Wild World” and Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now” in Cool Runnings, his nomination for induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and for performing HAKUNA FREAKING MATATA for the Rhythm of the Pride Lands.
What’s awesome about both: Well, the wonderful Jamaican star will be stopping by 9:30 Club on Thursday, June 7.
