The Wailers

The Wailers are a renowned reggae band, formerly Bob Marley's backing band.

After Marley's death in 1981, The Wailers were initially led by Aston Barrett and Junior Marvin. The band now comprises Barrett, on bass, Aston Barrett Jr. - drums, Donald Kinsey - lead guitar, Owen "Dreadie" Reid - rhythm guitar, Josh David Barrett - lead vocals, Andres Lopez - keyboards, Glen Dacosta - saxophone and Junior Jazz - guitar.

The Wailers frequently tour and perform Marley classics, as well as selections from their own later catalogue, such as "Majestic Warriors" and "Heritage of Dub".
