It is both difficult and admirable for a band to continue performing after losing a band member, especially when that member is your dynamic front-man. The Doors attempted to do so in 1971 after the death of singer Jim Morrison. A decade later, the Wailers were left in the same position after the death of Bob Marley. Bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett and Guitarist/Singer Junior Marvin were given the reins of the Wailers, and they have taken the band into the 21st century. They have released only a handful of albums since 1981, but have continued to tour around the world, performing in both large and small venues. They play a variety of songs from their recent studio releases, but their set list includes many of the songs that made them famous from 1974 to 1981, including “No Woman, No Cry,” “Get Up, Stand Up” and “Soul Shakedown Party.” This is a great opportunity to see a band that plays songs with meaning, and continues to carry on the traditions of one of the greatest reggae artists in history.
