It’s hard to fathom, but the musicians who played alongside the legendary Bob Marley during his creative heyday in the 1970s are still upright and making music. The Wailers, circa 2020, continue to create their rastaman vibrations with bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett, guitarist Junior Marvin and guitarist Donald Kinsey—all of whom jammed with Marley. The band also features second-generation performers, including singer Shema McGregor, whose mother Judy Mowatt was one of Marley’s famous back-up singers, the I-Threes. Indeed, the Wailers are true reggae royalty.
