Win VIP Passes to Jimmy Cliff at Summerstage (07/11/10)
On Sunday, July 11, Jamaican music legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff, will headline an all-star afternoon at Central Park SummerStage with special guests Trevor Hall and Burkina Faso’s Victor Deme. In addition to it being his first show ever at the Rumsey Playfield, this NYC gig also marks the kickoff to Jimmy’s most extensive North American tour in 20 years. The gates open at 3 PM, and Jimmy should go on at around 5 PM, with an end time of 7 PM. The set will be full of Jimmy’s familiar hits (“Many Rivers to Cross”, “Wild World” and “I Can See Clearly Now”) as well as some songs from Existence – his first album of new material in six years which is slated for release in late 2010.
Jimmy recently played a well received set at Bonnaroo, which you can stream over on NPR Music. More Jimmy Cliff tour dates and a chance to win VIP passes to the Summerstage show (you get to skip the line and check in at VIP) after the jump.
