A few nights ago the Wailers the remnants of Bob Marley’s band played at the Vilar performing the entirety of Marley’s 1977 classic “Exodus. ” And on Wednesday Texas singer-songwriter Lyle Lovett performed his eclectic stylings at the intimate venue. And though Bush is known best as a founder of the progressive wing of string music dubbed “newgrass” his interests are broad enough to include reggae and country. In fact Bush’s recent gigs have specifically included the music of Bob Marley and working as a sideman to Lovett. In the fall Bush’s band toured with an outfit called the riginal Wailers led by guitarist Al Anderson and singer Junior Marvin both former members of Marley’s band. Each night of the tour ended with the two bands joining forces for a massive tribute two drum sets two bassists banjo mandolin and more to Marley. And Bush did a short run last summer as a member of Lovett’s band; Bush jokes that his summer vacation consisted of that seven-date tour through Texas.
The Humble Calf: A Conversation with Burning Spear
PopMatters IL
Burning Spear is without question of the latter ilk and his latest release Jah Is Real should appeal to fans and stands to attract new listeners. Nevertheless when people speak of Burning Spear it is usually his early work that they fondly invoke. With good reason as his third album (and masterpiece) 1975’s Marcus Garvey is correctly considered one of the absolute cornerstones of reggae music. Burning Spear spent the rest of the decade establishing his legend and the series of records that followed are all considered classics. While most of his compatriots dropped out of public consciousness due either to death or the ever-shifting whims of the public (the ‘80s were a challenging time for rock music; to be certain times were considerably more difficult for reggae) Burning Spear soldiered on releasing a steady stream of albums and seemingly never not on tour.

What a good night to meet up with your friends from around the island at the outdoor reggae music bash at the Kona Bowl. The parking lot was blocked off and the sound system was set up for the rain or shine show featuring the East Coast medley makers “Soldiers f Jah Army” along with a special guest all the way from Germany “Gentleman. ” Starting off the show were a few of the hometown favorites — “HI Town” “Mixjah” and “DJ Red ne” making sure the crowd was warmed up for the hours of good times ahead. This rare occasion of a multi-performer show outside in Kona Town was a must-see event and the sold out presale tickets were the first sign that the party was on. There were still a few tickets that were available at the door for last minute concertgoers.
