The Wailers coming to Garter <\/p>\n
The Wailers, former backing band to reggae legend Bob Marley, are coming to Jackson Tuesday. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The band will bring island grooves to the Pink Garter Theatre. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets cost $23 to $25. <\/p>\n
KHOL is in the middle of its summer membership drive. <\/p>\n
To celebrate the end of the drive KHOL will host a Sinkane show and thank-you party at the Pink Garter Theatre. <\/p>\n
Sinkane, a band from Sudan and London, is headed by Ahmed Gallab, who has played with Hot Chip, Damon Albarn, David Byrne and others. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The Sinkane show will be Sept. 26. <\/p>\n
