Memorial Day weekend concert Sunday, May 25 at 9 p.m. Tickets are priced at

Marley,
the oldest son of music legend Bob Marley, made his recording debut in 1979
with a group comprised of his father and three siblings. The group became known
as The Melody Makers and released 14 albums over three decades. Marley began
his solo career in 2003 when he released Dragonfly with Ghetto Youths Crew, a
record label he created while working with the United Nations. In 2006, he
released his second solo album, Love Is My Religion, which won a GRAMMY Award for
“Best Reggae Album.”
His
third solo album, Family Time, was released in 2009 and was dedicated to
children worldwide. The album featured his mother, Rita Marley, as well as
musicians Paul Simon, Willie Nelson and Jack Johnson, among others. Marley later
earned another GRAMMY for “Best Musical Album for Children.” He won his third
solo GRAMMY (sixth overall) when the 2013 live release Ziggy Marley In Concert
won “Best Reggae Album” at the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards in January 2014.
Marley is scheduled to release the highly anticipated album Fly Rasta this
month.
