THE WAILERS

Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 9 p.m. — KILLINGTON — The Wailers are undoubtedly the world’s premier reggae and world music group who bring high energy shows to fans across the globe.

Well into their fifth decade, The Wailers truly are living legends who embody the nobility, conviction and progressiveness of Bob Marley and his music. The anchor of the band is Aston “Family Man” Barrett, who in addition to being Marley’s most trusted lieutenant, played on countless other classic reggae hits throughout the seventies. The authenticity he brings to The Wailers’ sound is indisputable. The current lineup features Jamaica’s most exciting new singers, helping to bring their ever-evolving music forward to a new generation.

Together with Bob Marley, The Wailers have sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. Outside of their groundbreaking work with the legendary reggae singer, The Wailers have performed with international acts such as Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Burning Spear. Recent collaborators include Kenny Chesney, Eve, Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. The band has completed innumerable tours over the years, playing to an estimated 24 million people, proving the timeless appeal of their music.
