Bob Marley Roots Rock Reggae Festival

It was a glorious sun-kissed and reggae-soaked steamy
Washington summer afternoon on Sunday, August 27th.

The superb Wolf Trap was the perfect venue for witnessing
Bunny Wailer, the only surviving reggae legend from the
original Wailers trio with Bob and Peter Tosh.

The excellent funky latin fusion band Ozomatli got everyone
grooving early before Bunny commanded the stage in a great
all white get-up. At 59 years old, he was dancing and bouncing
all over like a true elder reggae statesman.


















Stephen kept it simple and succesfully channeled his father
while Ziggy mostly tried some of his own material which
cannot possibly clear the majestic shadow of his dad's legacy.

















So here's to hoping that the famously reclusive and spiritual Bunny
will be touring solo real soon.

Roots skankin'!
