Bunny Wailer Tour Announced!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Sole remaining and original Wailer, the legendary BUNNY WAILER
and THE SOLOMONIC REGGAESTRA is to play both Festivals and a string of
Bluesfest side shows!
Born Neville O’Reily Livingston on 10 April, 1947, Bunny shared most of
his childhood leisure time with the late Bob Marley and Peter Tosh; a
relationship which would later turn into one of the world’s first
renown reggae acts, The Wailers. After many years of touring, recording
and taking reggae music from Jamaica to the western world, Bob, Peter
& Bunny would eventually disband with each starting their own
studio.
It wasn’t until 1973 that Bunny released his debut solo single
‘Searching for Love’ under his own label, Solomonic Productions, and
1976 saw the release of this first studio album ‘BlackHeart Man’ with
Island Records, a must-have album for all reggae lovers. In the years
1990, 1994 and 1996 Bunny picked up Grammy Awards for Best Reggae
Album, finally gaining recognition for his dedication to years of work
within the reggae industry.
History will be made in 2008 when Grammy Award winner Wailer
performs for the first time in Australia at The East and West Coast
Blues n Roots Festival’s and three one off side shows with Bedouin Soundclash in Melbourne, Sydney and Cairns!
