bring reggae to the forefront of the world’s stage. Led by renowned
bassist and founder Aston “Familyman” Barrett, and joined by
original Wailers guitarist Donald Kinsey, The Wailers give audiences
around the globe the opportunity to experience their unique and
innovative sound. From 1972 to 1980, Bob Marley & The Wailers
recorded, toured, and performed before countless millions worldwide.
Since 1981, Familyman has carried on the mission to “keep The
Wailers together” – just as Bob requested. In tribute to the late
co-founder and drummer Carlton “Carly” Barrett, The Wailers
present Familyman’s multi-talented son, Aston Barrett Jr. It’s
startling to witness how the young powerhouse delivers with his
uncle’s inspiring landmark “one drop” drumming style. Also on
stage is polished background singer Shema McGregor, daughter of I
Three singer Judy Mowatt and Reggae pioneer Freddie McGregor.
Accompanying the legends and children-of-legends on stage are many
other talented musicians: bass guitarist Owen “Dreadie” Reid, a
former student of Familyman who also plays bass with Julian Marley’s
Uprising band; front man Joshua David Barrett, Rastaman by lifestyle
and culture, who delivers Bob’s powerful message of Jah love and
unity through his performance and interaction with the audience;
Andres Lopez on keyboards, who has performed with artists such as
Alborosie, Lutan Fyah, and Anthony B.; and Anne-Marie Thompson, an
experienced gospel singer. FOH/Sound engineer is Christian Cowlin, a
Wailers Band veteran who has traveled the world with The Wailers for
more than 20 years and who is responsible for the band’s live sound.
Since Bob Marley’s untimely passing in 1981, Familyman vowed to keep
a promise he made to his leader and friend – that he would hold the
band together and maintain the music’s quality, to “keep me [Bob
Marley] alive through music.” The message is still Burnin’, the
Exodus of Jah people continues, Uprising and Survival remain the call
to fans. The incomparable Wailers are coming to Babylon by Bus, to
rock the stage, to bring the magic and message of Roots Rasta Reggae.
