The Wailers will perform at the Reno Hilton on Saturday, May 14 for an all-ages show. Rock-Pop-Latin band deSol will open the show at 9pm. Recognized throughout the world as the architect of reggae, 3Familyman2 created a music genre that rose to world domination when he teamed up with Bob Marley as his bassist and musical director. 3Familyman2 and his band, The Wailers, have continued to tour the world leaving no doubt that the musical legacy he and Bob Marley created. As The Wailers embark on yet another tour of the world, 3Familyman2 has pushed the limits of The Wailers, by assembling original band members that toured with Bob Marley making this reunion an unprecedented musical event. The name Wailers first applied to groups led by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston 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 begun to dominate the early reggae scene, recording untold hits for producer Lee 3Scratch2 Perry. After signing to Island Records in 1971, the name Wailers referred to Bob Marley9s backing band. When Peter and Bunny then left the group two years later, it was officially passed onto Aston 3Familyman2 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, 3Familyman2 is the sole beneficiary of The Wailers9 mantle and whilst other long-standing members still record and tour with the band, it is Marley9s former bassist and musical arranger, 3Familyman2, who continues to spearhead his musical legacy. In summary, The Wailers Band remains the world9s ultimate roots rock reggae outfit. No other aggregation can match them for either the depth or quality of their hit songs, or their widespread appeal. The cap still fits, and yes, the crowd still wants more. DeSol is a six-piece Latin-pop-rock band of international musicians that are often compared to early Santana. Advance tickets are available at the Reno Hilton Box Office, at all Ticketmaster outlets and at Ticketmaster.com.
