The Wailers coming to Garter

The Wailers, former backing band to reggae legend Bob Marley, are coming to Jackson Tuesday.

With a stellar cast of musicians from the original group and newer additions The Wailers have successfully channeled Marleys energetic message of peace and unity, taking on an ambitious, near-permanent tour that stretches across the globe.

Aston Family Man Barrett, original bassist for the group, has played a key role in uniting original members of the band, moving past the decades-old legal battles that have tarnished the Wailers and the Marley estate.

With Tyrone Downie on keys, Junior Marvin on lead guitar, and Earl Wya Lindo on organ, the true sound of The Wailers has slowly made a comeback, and fans are taking note.

Playing sold-out shows across the country, the summer 2017 tour has showcased the bands ability to infuse Marleys spiritual enlightenment with a modern, captivating stage show.

The band will bring island grooves to the Pink Garter Theatre. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets cost $23 to $25.

KHOL is in the middle of its summer membership drive.

To celebrate the end of the drive KHOL will host a Sinkane show and thank-you party at the Pink Garter Theatre.

Sinkane, a band from Sudan and London, is headed by Ahmed Gallab, who has played with Hot Chip, Damon Albarn, David Byrne and others.

We love throwing thank-you parties for everyone who donates to each of our two annual drives, station manager Zach Zimmerman said in a news release.

The Sinkane show will be Sept. 26.
