"Tomorrow People" won't have to wait any longer to purchase tickets to see five-time Grammy-winning musician Ziggy Marley as tickets are on sale now for his Lowell Summer Music Series season-opening performance on Thursday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m. Marley, who is, of course, the son of reggae legend Bob Marley, has amazingly built a quarter-century career of his own. While his band, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, first hit the charts in the late 1980s with "Tomorrow People," reaching No. 39 on the Billboard pop singles chart in 1988, he's been recording and performing ever since. The 45-year-old Ziggy and his siblings first sat in on recording sessions with his father's band, Bob Marley and the Wailers when he was 10 years old. They then formed the Melody Makers in 1979, a group which blended blues, R&B, hip-hop and roots reggae until they broke up in 2002. Since then, Ziggy has embarked on a successful solo career. He's toured with and recorded with everyone from Sheryl Crow, Train and O.A.R., to Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson and Paul Simon. He's involved with a number of charities and recently reclaimed most of the published rights to his father's music from EMI. These days, Ziggy splits his time between houses in Florida, Jamaica and California. Ziggy Marley comes to the Boarding House Park in Lowell on Thursday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Lowell Summer Music Series. Tickets are $39 in advance, $45 day of the concert and available at lowellsummermusic.org. Source The Valley Dispatch: http://www.thevalleydispatch.com/entertainment/ci_25376005 |
