Family Folk Chorale Celebrates the Music of Bob Marley

Calling all Bob Marley fans! Come join us for an evening of uplifting music by the legendary singer, song writer and activist.

We are thrilled to be joined by Glen DaCosta, saxophonist with Bob Marley and the Wailers, and the Pihcintu Multinational Children's Chorus!

Artistic Director Chris Eastburn notes, "Bob Marley's melodies summon spontaneous singing from the heart. His grooves make you want to dance from your soul and his lyrics calling for the unity of the human family ring as true today as when they were written. Bring your parents and children to sing and dance along with the Family Folk Chorale in this intergenerational celebration of Bob Marley's music."

We'll be singing reggae favorites and classics "One Love/People Get Ready", "No Woman No Cry", "Get Up, Stand Up", "Lively Up Yourself" and much, much more.

Our 60-member chorus ranges in age from 2 to 75 and is backed by a stellar band, featuring Gary Backstrom on guitar, Justin Kleya on bass, Dow Brain on keys and Leo Ciaramitaro on drums.

Family Folk Chorale, founded in 1999, is the premier multi-generational chorus in the Boston area. For more information, visit our website www.FamilyFolkChorale.org.
