The Wailers continue to bring their revolutionary sound and timeless message of love, unity, and positive vibrations to audiences around the world. Led by Aston Barrett Jr., son of the legendary bassist and founding member Aston “Familyman” Barrett, The Wailers carry forward one of the most influential musical legacies in history, honouring their roots while creating a new chapter of reggae music.
From 1973 to 1980, Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded and performed for millions of fans worldwide, producing some of the most celebrated music ever recorded. Following Bob Marley’s passing in 1981, Aston “Familyman” Barrett dedicated his life to keeping The Wailers together and preserving their extraordinary musical heritage. Today, his son Aston Barrett Jr. proudly continues that mission, bringing his own musical vision, energy, and leadership to the band while remaining faithful to the unmistakable Wailers sound.
Joining Aston Barrett Jr. is Mitchell Brunings, whose powerful, soulful vocals and commanding stage presence bring new life to the band’s timeless catalogue. Together with an exceptional ensemble of musicians, The Wailers deliver an electrifying live experience that celebrates the music of Bob Marley & The Wailers while introducing their legacy to new generations.
The Wailers are not simply preserving history; they continue to make it. Their 2024 album Evolution, produced by Emilio Estefan Jr., marked another chapter in the band’s creative journey. In July 2026, The Wailers released Gates of Zion, featuring legendary reggae vocalist Mykal Rose and produced by Aston Barrett Jr., further reinforcing their commitment to creating authentic and meaningful reggae music.
In 2027, The Wailers embark on their Exodus: Album of the Century 2027 World Tour, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the landmark 1977 album Exodus. Recognized by TIME magazine in 1999 as the Best Album of the 20th Century, Exodus remains one of the most influential recordings in popular music. The tour honours the extraordinary legacy of Bob Marley & The Wailers, bringing these timeless songs to audiences around the globe.
With more than 100 million Bob Marley & The Wailers recordings sold worldwide, the band’s influence transcends generations, cultures, and borders. Their iconic song “One Love” was named Song of the Millennium by the BBC, while SPIN magazine ranked Bob Marley & The Wailers among the greatest bands of all time. Their music continues to inspire millions, carrying a message that remains as powerful and relevant today as it was more than five decades ago.
Under the leadership of Aston Barrett Jr., The Wailers remain a living, evolving musical force, connecting the past, present, and future through the universal language of reggae.
One Love. One Heart. One Legacy.
