PHILIPSBURG:--- Organizers for the 35th Annual St. Maarten Heineken Regatta (March 5 - 8, 2015) are working to create the perfect entertainment line-up and are excited to announce the two main acts for the weekend: Tessanne Chin on Saturday, March 7 and 'The Kool and the Gang' on Sunday, March 8.
Tessanne Amanda Chin is a Jamaican recording artist, best known for winning Season 5 of NBC's reality TV singing competition "The Voice." She has opened for famous acts such as Patti Labelle, Peabo Bryson and Gladys Knight, and toured for three years with Jimmy Cliff.
Kool and the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk and disco group. They went through several musical phases during the course of their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then becoming practitioners of funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound. They have sold over 70 million albums worldwide.
More artists will be announced in the coming weeks leading up to the event.
