Julian Marley and The Uprising, are touring the U.S. and bringing good vibrations.

He may be the son of legendary Jamaican Reggae Music King Bob Marley, but UK-based son Julian has a style all his own.

Great songs and great music keep the night flowing as Julian kicked off the first nights of his Straighter Roads Tour.

Julian’s successful life as a musician is particularly satisfying to those who have seen his father, Bob, perform live, whether in Los Angeles or elsewhere.

The Julian Marley and The Uprising show is upbeat and gets the audience to its collective feet. “Boom Draw” is among the hot songs during the performance.

“Reggae Music, Ska Music … This is the birth of Reggae Music, Ska music,” Julian Marley said. “That fast upbeat kind of music that’s what my father started out playing … On those fast rhythms, which bring so much joy to people you know what I mean? And a lot of sweat for us.”
