Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Legend(s)

There are precious few bands as synonymous with their genre as the Wailers are with reggae. Best known for their work backing the legendary Bob Marley, the Wailers are among the most important and influential reggae bands in history, having collaborated with a veritable Hall of Fame of reggae icons, including Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and Burning Spear. And that’s to say nothing of their work with nonreggae stars such as the Fugees, Sting and Stevie Wonder — to name but a few. This Monday, November 21, the Wailers ride the trade winds to South Burlington for a show at the Higher Ground Ballroom with Duane Stephenson.
