Stephen “Ragga” Marley, mentored by his father, Bob, has carved a formidable path in reggae. His 2007 solo debut, Mind Control, snagged a Grammy for Best Reggae Album and held the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart for 14 weeks. Follow-ups like Revelation Part I: The Root of Life (2011) and Revelation Part II: The Fruit of Life (2016) also topped the charts, blending roots reggae with hip-hop, soul, and electronic influences. His 2023 release, Old Soul, featuring guests like Ziggy Marley and Jack Johnson, showcases his versatility, with tracks like “Cool As the Breeze” and “Cast the First Stone” reflecting his introspective lyricism. At this celebration, expect Stephen to weave in Bob’s classics—“Buffalo Soldier,” “Could You Be Loved,” and “Redemption Song”—alongside his own hits, creating a setlist that bridges generations. His live shows, known for crowd interaction and surprises like bongo solos or his son waving the Jamaican flag, carry an infectious energy that honors his father’s spirit while asserting his own voice.
