Julian Marley

Overview

Julian Marley is bringing his dreadlocks and infectious roots-reggae to Australia this May on an express pitstop tour. The son of the famous Bob, who recorded his first demo at the early age of five, will showcase his soulful voice and hypnotic beats in one show only in each of Sydney, Melbourne and Cairns before continuing on around the world.

Marley has music in his veins and experiments with the multitude of instruments that he can play until he creates something he likes. "I don't plan the next step", he says, "somehow things seem to just come together naturally that way." It is that impulse and spontaneity that make his live offerings worth experiencing.

He won't be alone either, with The Strides and ManaLion supporting him in Sydney, as well as Natalia Pa’apa’a of Blue King Brown fame performing with the Rumwaropen sisters. It promises to be an all-round mammoth serving of soul that will set your hips swaying and your feet shaking.

Julian Marley visits are rare, so make sure you get in whilst you can; you never know when he will be coming back.
