Billed on a star studded line up with Don Carlos and legend Jimmy Cliff, dancehall/reggae superstar Shaggy, was set to give the large crowd in attendance, at the world renown Hollywood Bowl, a performance unlike any other. Dressed in black shorts and white shirt, Shaggy came on stage after the roots reggae artist Don Carlos and immediately the patrons began to cheer and scream.
Shaggy provided his signature upbeat, uptempo entertainment style of performance, which his fans are all so familiar with and have grown to love. He immediately began to perform his hits ‘Long Time; and ‘Bonafide Girl’, which both had the crowd singing and rocking. As the night progressed the crowd began to get louder and louder as Shaggy ‘turned up his performance a notch’ with his segment of crowd participation. It was clear to the audience that Shaggy was not here to just perform but he was also ready to entertain them.
He would get the biggest crowd response with his hits like ‘Mr. Boombastic and ‘Oh Carolina’, which were clearly two of the crowd favorites. “You were amazing in Hollywood last night, you are not just a singer, you are an entertainer” one fan posted on Shaggy’s facebook fan page.
Shaggy, who has been touring substantially this year while working on his upcoming album, has only took two to three weeks off in between tours. Now back on his Out of Many One Music Tour Shaggy will hit Hawaii, Germany, France, UK and Slovakia just to name a few countries. The Grammy Award winner is definitely use to the hectic schedule and will be on tour for the next six weeks. If you think there is any slowing down for Shaggy, take another guess. Shaggy is clearly in demand and ready to please the millions of fans he will see in the upcoming weeks.
