Singer/Actress Cherine Anderson will head out on an 11 week world tour beginning June 20th. We caught up briefly with the singer who was in rehearsals for her Caribbean Fashion Week performance this Saturday June 13th at the National Arena in Kingston, Jamaica. Even in the current economical climate, Anderson has been blessed with one of the busiest schedules for the summer. Speaking about her upcoming tour the East Kingston beauty says with her usual smile, “I love performing, so I am giving thanks for all the blessings and opportunities to promote my music and my new EP The Introduction-Dubstyle.” With her single “Shine on Jamaica” topping two international reggae charts for four weeks in a row and rising on other reggae charts, Anderson feels grateful for the worldwide exposure and the opportunity to take her Dancehall Soul sound and her Jamaican culture to new audiences.
Anderson starts her summer with solo shows in June before heading out on a European tour which will take her to multiple cities in Belgium, Italy, France, UK, Germany, Ireland, Holland and Switzerland. On returning to North America she again joins Michael Franti & Spearhead and the rock band The Counting Crows on an eight week US tour which will play to audiences in theatres and mid sized arenas. Anderson’s manager Patrick Lindsay states, “We are committed to presenting Cherine’s talent to diversified audiences across the world. This has required consistent hard work on her part and I am pleased that she has been up for the challenge. She constantly performs with high energy for her audiences and delivers her ‘Jamaica to Di World’ message with pride.”
