Britain’s Greenest Band The Phoenix Rose to Support Junior Marvin of Bob Marley’s Wailers Live at Under the Bridge
The unmissable event promoted by Jambila Music in association with PEA Pod Sessions includes support from No-Maddz and promises an eclectic collaboration of Reggae and Rock music where for every ticket sold, a tree will be planted through PEA Pod Sessions.
The Phoenix Rose
Having performed this summer at Glastonbury with Junior Marvin, The Phoenix Rose’s music has been dubbed by double Grammy winner Wayne Jobson as “the sound you would hear if The Police Clashed with Bob Marley”. The band, fronted by Jarvis Smith including Jim Evans-Jones (drums), Rob Tree (bass), Fingers (guitar) and Reet on vocals was signed by the UK’s first and only green record company, Archangel Green. Their contract has unique guidelines regarding carbon-offsetting reduced travel, utilisation of green energy and efficient CD production. Their upcoming album 'Planet 2012’ which includes single 'Sick and Tired' produced by Pete 'mixmaster' Hammond and the album title track featuring Junior Marvin encourages people to realise their own capability to instigate positive change.
Jarvis Smith comments...“I’m thrilled The Phoenix Rose will be joining Junior to perform at this exciting and highly sought after venue. He and Bob Marley made the concept of ‘love and unity’ become an accepted philosophy, and he truly believes, as I do, that music can once again be used to encourage people to make positive changes to their lifestyles in order to save the planet”
Junior Marvin
The Jamaican born guitarist and singer previously formed his own band, Junior Marvin’s Hanson in the early 70’s before joining Bob Marley and The Wailers band in 1977. “Exodus” was his first album with them which was voted “Best Album Of The 20th Century’ by Time Magazine. He is on all Bob Marley and The Wailers Albums since that time. Since Bob Marley’s death in 1981, Junior has released four albums with The Wailers; “ID”, “Majestic Warriors”, “Jah Message” and “My Friends” (Live). Junior also featured on albums with Burning Spear, Alpha Blondy, Bunny Wailer, Israel Vibrations, Culture, The Meditations, Beres Hammond, The Congos, O.A,R. and SOJA.
In 1997 Junior left The Wailers Band and relocated to Brazil, where he formed a short-lived group called Batuka. Following his return to Jamaica he continued working as a session artist, more recently touring with Kaliroots and The Wailers Band. He has been touring with The Original Wailers since 2009 and his new single, ‘Where is Love’ as a solo artist is out now to buy on iTunes and vinyl.
