| Cherine Rocks US Tour |
Cherine Anderson is fresh off the 2008 Tailgate Tour with Slightly Stoopid, Pepper and Sly & Robbie and The Taxi Gang; a 21 date summer tour which weaved the bands through the US from Santa Barbara, California to St. Augustine, Florida. Cherine impressed audiences from city to city gaining new supporter along the way. The bands sold out the famous Red Rocks Theatre in Colorado and warmed an audience who braved the rain to enjoy the music. Both Slightly Stoopid and Pepper also loved Cherine's Dancehall Soul vibe and invited her to perform in their respective sets. This saw Anderson playing triple duty - first performing her set with Sly & Robbie, followed by performing a remix of Pepper's "Like Your Style" during their set and then returning to the stage with Slightly Stoopid at the end to perform her own hit "Good Love".
Cherine says of the tour, "WOW, where do I begin? The tour exceeded all my expectations! I love, love, loved it. We started in California and ended in Florida playing to sold out audiences most night, and the energy from those crowds was indescribable. Sly & Robbie turned up that heat every night it was just great. And working with Slightly Stoopid and Pepper was amazing. Those guys are so passionate about what they do. It was like one big musical family."
According to legendary drummer Sly Dunbar " It is really amazing to see the growth of Cherine from the first tour to now, She really shines on the tough hardcore riddims."
The bands had nothing but raves for the presence and talents Anderson added to the Tailgate 2008 tour. Miles, founding member of Slightly Stoopid said, "Cherine brings love to the battlefield. She has an incredibly beautiful voice and lots of energy on stage and is definitely someone people should check out." C-Money from Slightly Stoopid replied, "Cherine is a true artist, a sexy mama and a positive light." OG added, "The way she carries herself, she's just really normal, but she gets on that stage and passion just oozes out of her."
The band's tour manager Brian shared, "Every night she hit that stage, it took about 30 seconds into her set before the workers at the venues all looked to the stage to see where that sound was coming from. Cherine is the real deal. Her voice grabs your attention and forces you to listen and it gives you goose bumps too."
A highlight during Cherine's set was her new single "Talk If Yuh Talking", (released to Jamaican radio this week). Anderson wrote the in-your-face female anthem based on the experience of one of her friends. "Talk If Yuh Talking" will be available to fans on Cherine's upcoming EP, 'The Introduction-Dubstyle'.
