The Wailers

On his deathbed, legendary reggae musician Bob Marley asked his band to keep his spirit alive through their music. More than three decades on, The Wailers are still sticking to their promise. With a varying lineup of talented musicians, The Wailers give fans a chance to experience some of reggae’s finest tracks in a live setting. Of the original members, only three remain to carry the torch—Aston ‘Family Man’ Barrett (bass), Junior Marvin (guitar) and Donald Kinsey (guitar). Newer additions to the band have added energy and life to many of Marley’s classic tunes. Lead vocalist Joshua David Barrett (no relation to Aston Barrett) has taken on the task of replacing one of the world’s most renowned musicians. Born and raised in New Jersey, far from the laid-back island life of Jamaica, Joshua David Barrett was influenced by Marley from a young age, both spiritually and musically. His vocals and style pay perfect tribute to the band’s former frontman, transporting listeners back to the formative years of reggae music. Spectators on the night will be treated to anthems such as ‘Buffalo Soldier’, ‘Could You Be Loved’ and ‘One Love’ in this rare chance to sing and skank the night away to some of the most seminal songs in music history.
