wailer

When two of its original members, Pete Tosh and Bunny Wailer, left the band in 1973, Mr. Marley and the Barretts reformed the band around them.

Chateau regulars like Lyle Lovett, blues rocker Gary Clark Jr., Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Trombone Shorty — who’s joined this year by Ziggy Marley, gospel queen Mavis Staples and pedal steel wailer Robert Randolph — are back to rock the winery.

But the Kingston-born Londoner did become a Wailer in 1977, turning down a slot with Stevie Wonder’s band to play lead guitar on Marley and company’s “Exodus” and subsequent albums.

Marvin wasn’t an original Wailer — he didn’t join until more than a decade after the group’s founding — and didn’t even grow up in Jamaica.

Reggae’s first superstar had help from his longtime bandmates Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in taking Jamaican music to the rest of the world with the Wailers’ pair of head-turning 1973 LPs.
