Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and Stephen “Ragga” Marley have announced the Catch A Fire Tour 2015. With
Morgan Heritage and Tarrus Riley rounding out the line-up, the run of
dates will kick off in celebration of what would have been Bob Marley’s
70th birthday year in Philadelphia on August 29 and will run through
September.
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley
The
youngest son of Reggae legend Bob Marley, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley
garnered his own place in music history when he became the first ever
Reggae artist to win a GRAMMY outside of the Reggae category, taking
home an award for Best Urban/Alternative performance for his title
single, “Welcome To Jamrock.” The
acclaimed 2005 breakthrough disc Welcome To Jamrock, also won a GRAMMY
for Best Reggae Album. Marley has been shaking up stages all over the
world for the past few years, first in
conjunction with his Distant Relatives project., and then when he went
on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun
Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and
dancehall.” Damian is also working with his brothers Stephen and Julian
under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and
sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast
experience to create new and different styles of music. Damian is
currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.
Stephen “Ragga” Marley
Eight
time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter/musician/producer Stephen
Marley will release his fourth solo album “Revelation Part II: The Fruit
of Life,” the second installment in a two part series, following his
critically acclaimed 2012 Best Reggae Album Grammy recipient “Revelation
Part I: The Root of Life.” Whereas “The Root of Life” is a
celebration/preservation vehicle for the powerful messages, enriching
spirit and live instrumentation that is the essence of roots reggae,
“The Fruit of Life” utilizes a diversified sonic palette in its
expression of the far-reaching impact Jamaican music has had on various
genres, especially hip-hop. Like The Root, which premiered atop the
Billboard Reggae Album chart, following the Grammy Award winners “Mind
Control” (2007) and “Mind Control Acoustic” (2009), making three
consecutive number one Reggae tally debuts for Stephen, “The Fruit of
Life” will be released on the Marley family’s label Ghetto Youths
International.
Morgan Heritage
Having
fully recharged their momentous journey in the past year and a half,
and having unquestionably established themselves as the premiere live
group on the reggae circuit, Morgan Heritage is now on another phase of
their indomitable mission. The Royal Family of Reggae has taken the
impressively significant step forward by releasing their upcoming album,
Strictly Roots. According to Gramps, “Strictly Roots, our 10th studio
album is particularly significant. It represents our first album
released independent of VP Records, on our very own label CTBC Music
Group. VP has been great for the group and we're grateful for our years
with them. We just felt it was time to approach the release of our music
differently." Possessing that unmistakably authentic Morgan Heritage
organic roots sound with an expansively eclectic mix that takes it
seamlessly into hybrid valleys and mountains, Strictly Roots
interestingly pays homage to the elders, while ironically, also blazes
the trail towards the exciting future of roots.
Tarrus Riley
Tarrus
Riley is among the leading ambassadors of modern day Reggae Music from
Jamaica. The singer’s commanding vocals, intuitive lyrics and vibrant
personality have combined to create a formidable artiste with authentic
credentials in Reggae music. His rising catalogue has been described as
‘healing’ music, and has brought adoration and acclaim from leading
music luminaries from across the globe.
His
fifth studio gem, Love Situation, was released with huge anticipation
in February 2014, and it debuted at number one on the Billboard Reggae
Album chart and I Tunes Chart. The 17-track album again features a
powerhouse behind the production that has produced consistently
admirable work over the decades.
Tarrus
Riley considers himself as a voice of the people, and has set himself
apart as someone who sings for the people. He defines himself as one who
makes thought-provoking music about Black consciousness and experiences
with the intention to open people’s minds and let them think.
