An Afternoon with The Wailers

The Wailers brought an Irie vibe to Houston this past weekend. iFest sang and swayed along with the smooth, positive vibrations of some of Bob Marley’s most famous songs: “One Love,” “Three Little Birds,” “I Shot the Sherriff,” and “No Woman, No Cry.” On stage with The Wailers was Lifetime Achievement award winner, Aston “Family Man” Barrett. As the lone remaining member of The Wailers that recorded with Bob Marley, he leads the band through songs he co-produced and arranged with Bob. The band members are extremely talented with long bios of significant achievements and some have been playing with The Wailers for over 10 years. The Wailers are actively on tour and after a quick jaunt along the Gulf Coast, they will be jetting to Brazil for a 7 city tour of iFest’s featured country for 2013. Take a look through a few shots I grabbed during the show and be on the look out for when The Wailers are coming to your city next. See all the pictures, here.
