The sounds of roots reggae rocked the full house at the Hudson Falls Strand Theater as The Wailers took to the stage and played two complete sets of uplifting, life-affirming music.
We all knew we were in for a treat, as wed be welcoming to the stage Aston Barrett Jr., son of Aston Family Man Barrett and nephew to the late Carlton Barrett, in whose honor he plays the drums.
The history of The Wailers is a turbulent one. Bob Marley's band has included many members and since his untimely death in 1981, there have been various incarnations of The Wailers, often touring at the same time.
Starting out as Bob Marley, Bunny Livingston and Peter Tosh in 1963 the band evolved over the decades and is now a much younger group that carries on the spirit and sound of its founders.
