This Toronto springtime reggae tradition celebrates the music of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer -- The Original Wailers who defined reggae music as a genre and brought it to audiences all over the world. Headlined as always by House of David Gang (with 2-time Juno nominee Jason Wilson as a special guest along with the Rocksteady Horns), this roots reggae celebration will also feature High Plains Drifter, Roots Vibe, Levi Collins & MC King David. **** The Story Of The Original Wailers The three original Wailers -- Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Neville “Bunny Wailer†Livingston -- came together as a band in 1963. They were also known The Teenagers, The Wailing Rudeboys, and The Wailing Wailers before settling on the name synonymous with Jamaican roots reggae music: The Wailers. Other early members of the band included Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, Cherry Smith and Aston and Carlton Barrett. Some of The Wailers’ most notable songs were recorded with Lee "Scratch" Perry and his studio band The Upsetters. During the early 1970s, the Barrett brothers formed the Wailers Band, providing instrumental backing for The Wailers. The Wailers recorded groundbreaking reggae songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up". They disbanded in 1974, and each of the three main members then had a solo career. Bob Marley achieved international fame with Bob Marley & The Wailers (with the Wailers Band as backing band and the I Threes as backing vocalists) until his death in 1981. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer both enjoyed considerable solo success as reggae music continued to gain popularity during the 1970s and 1980s. They were supported by their respective backing bands Word, Sound and Power and The Solomonic Orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
