The unique downbeat style of Jamaica lives on in the reggae groves of The Wailers. After legend Bob Marley's death in 1981, this former Marley back-up band began its own journey, with an evolving ensemble member list that now includes ten talented musicians. Headed by the smooth stylings of lead vocalists Elan Atias and Koolant Brown, The Wailers stay close to their Caribbean roots while welcoming fresh and surprising collaborations. In 2008, the band paired with country superstar Kenny Chesney on a well-received single. Another unlikely but successful partnership, this time joining their classic reggae with alternative rock, saw The Wailers touring with Omaha, Nebraska's 311 in 2010. Even after thirty years of touring, recording, and changing band members, The Wailers enjoy a strong following and critical acclaim. Older fans appreciate the roots-oriented island music the band delivers. Younger fans pay homage to the group's paving of the way for recently popular, but just as classic Jamaican musical forms, like ska, and rocksteady.
