Junior Marvin is widely recognized as an all-time great reggae guitarist and served as the Musical Director of the iconic Bob Marley and the Wailers band. Marvin says this tour helps fulfill his promise to Bob to keep the Wailers going. His guitar artistry, which had a huge influence on Marley, can be heard on seminal tracks such as "Could You Be Loved" (which Junior originally wrote and gave to Marley), "Waiting in Vain," "Buffalo Soldier," "The Heathen," "One Love," and "Jamming."
Marvin's latest project, "HAPPY FAMILY," a newly released 9-track album, features a new interpretation of the single "One Love" and is distributed by Flat Iron Records.
