The Historic Ashland Armory is located at 208 Oak Street, Ashland and is an all-ages venue. De Sol will be opening the show at 8:30. Doors are at 7:30 p.m. and showtime is 8:30 p.m.. Advance tickets are $20 and raise to $25 on the day of the show. "No Woman No Cry," "Stir It Up," and "Jammin" are just some of Bob Marley's tunes that will be performed by his original band. We cannot over emphasize that Bob Marley was a member of the band The Wailers and it was only until later in their career that billing was changed to Bob Marley and The Wailers. The Wailers do, and will, perform many of the Bob Marley and the Wailers hits as well as old and new unrecorded songs. Since members of the Wailers wrote and co-wrote many of the Bob Marley and the Wailers songs, the Wailers live set will give the audience exactly what they paid to hear. The Wailers, led by Aston "Familyman" Barrett, plan to carry on the spirit and musical dominance that was created by Bob Marley and Familyman. Recognized throughout the world as the architect of reggae, Familyman created a music genre that rose to world domination when he teamed up with Bob Marley as his bassist and musical director. The name Wailers first applied to groups led by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in the mid-sixties, when ska was the ruling sound in Jamaican music. By the end of the decade this triumvirate had teamed up with the Barrett brothers and began to dominate the early reggae scene, recording untold hits for producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. After signing to Island Records in 1971, the name Wailers referred to Bob Marley's backing band. When Peter and Bunny then left the group two years later, it was officially passed onto Aston Familyman Barrett and his late brother Carlton, who died in 1987. Bob Marley and the Wailers would then go on to break musical history by selling well over 250 million records worldwide. Clearly, Familyman is the sole beneficiary of The Wailers9 mantle and whilst other long-standing members still record and tour with the band, it is Marley1s former bassist and musical arranger, Familyman, who continues to spearhead his musical legacy. Apart from Familyman himself, their current line-up includes guitarist Al Anderson and organist Earl "Wya" Lindo, who played alongside Familyman and Marley on many of those unforgettable recordings and live performances of the seventies. Everton Gayle on saxophone is an original Wailer. The lead singer is former City Heat vocalist Gary Nesta Pines, who is widely regarded as the Wailers best front man since the late, great Bob himself. Tyrone Downey, the original keyboard player is on tour with them for the first time in a great while. The Wailers remain the world's ultimate roots rock reggae outfit. No other band can match them for either the depth or quality of their hit songs and widespread appeal. Advance tickets can be purchased in Ashland: Lowdown and Music Coop, in Medford at Bad Ass Coffee; in Williams at the General Store; and in Grants Pass at Listen Here. Also at all Ticketswest outlets. Online at ticketswest.com, ticketweb.com, tickets.com, musictoday.com, jambasetickets.com; and at tickets.com.
