On May 23, Rusted Root and The Wailers will be co-headlining
at The Paramount. Huntington will experience an intimate night with the music
business’ most talented trailblazers; it will be a co-headlining experience Bob
Marley himself would be proud of. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased
through Ticketmaster.com, charge-by-phone @ 800-745-3000 or visit us at the box
office (open daily from 12 noon - 6 pm).
Rusted Root transcends age, generations, cultures and
musical style with eight albums under their belt and over three million records
sold worldwide. Their latest album, The Movement, is an energized and poetic
collection of originals. Backing vocalist and percussionist, Liz Berlin says,
“When we first got together as a band there was a groundswell of community,
love and support that has taken us on a movement through our lives and together
as a band. This movement has never stopped all these years!” Now their movement
will continue with The Wailers for a spectacular one night event.
Original members of The Wailers included the man hailed as
“The Artist of the 20th Century,” Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, and
Barrett Brothers, Carlton and Aston. Today Aston leads the band as it continues
to promote peace, love and equality through music. They have had appearances at
major festivals including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and Rothbury, along with
superstars such as Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, Sting, The Fugees and Alpha
Blondy. The Wailers have sold over a
quarter of a billion albums, including seven top-ten entries on the British pop
charts.
Both bands spread the same message spoken perfectly by Aston
Barrett, “the oxygen of the people. It’s the message of roots, culture and
reality, meant to spread peace and love.” Come to The Paramount to enjoy the
sounds of reggae, rock fusion without the hassle of traveling into the city.
