The Wailers

Location: Baum Walker Hall at Walton Arts Center

Fans of reggae in will be delighted to know that Marley’s backing band, The Wailers, will be coming to Northwest Arkansas on their 2012 “Revolution” Tour! The revolutionary spirit of Bob Marley is alive in America, and the Wailers are about to make their live contribution to the struggle. On this special tour, the Wailers will perform a themed show, much as they did when they performed the whole of the “Exodus” in 2009. Expect to hear inspiring, incendiary anthems delivered as only the Wailers know how. Says bassist and musical director Aston “Family Man” Barrett, “I am eager to take the spirit of rebel music that I was able to bring forth with my bred’ren Bob Marley, out on the road and across America. These are the times Bob sang about when he said, ‘It takes a revolution to make a solution.’ We want to show the people that the Wailers are the band of the 99 percent. We want our music to be part of the solution. I am a resolutionary.” Don’t miss the group that brought the world songs like “One Love,” “Buffalo Soldier” and “Get Up Stand Up” and many, many more!
