Reggae legends The Wailers will make their Northwest Arkansas debut in Fayetteville in November, it was announced last week.
The band, known best for its work with Bunny Wailer and late Reggae-music icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10 at the Walton Arts Center.
Original member Aston Barrett remains an anchor in the band on bass guitar, and is joined by Elan Atias and Koolant Brown on lead vocals; Keith Sterling on keys; Anthony Watson on drums; Audley Chisholm on rhythm guitar; Chico Chin on trumpet; Everald Gayle on trombone; and Brady Walters and Cegee Victory on background vocals.
Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12, and range from $16-$28. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Walton Arts Center box office at 479-443-5600 or by visiting waltonartscenter.org.
Should be a really great show, but this should happen outdoors or in a bar, so people can smoke weed, as folks are wont to do at a killer reggae show. I shudder at the thought that people will be sitting in their seats.
They played downtown Tulsa last Sunday for FREE. Maybe someday the city and WAC will throw a free outdoor concert with those massive paid parking profits. Oh wait, that’s for the imaginary parking deck.
