Damian + Stephen Marley: Traffic Jam 2024
Former Stranger contributor Kyle Fleck writes: “The winding road of musical history is paved with the sons and daughters of icons, who (often through nepotism, sometimes with talent) gave a shot at their own careers, never to step out from the shadow of their legendary parents. What sets reggae icon Bob Marley’s brood apart is their undeniable hit-making abilities: Damian’s blistering ‘Welcome to Jamrock’ was pretty much inescapable the summer it was released, and Stephen’s a Grammy-winning, critically lauded artist in his own right. His is a dressed-up, omnivorous take on reggae, incorporating hip-hop drum breaks, record scratches, and pop-leaning female backup singers, along with the requisite mentions of Jah. It’s sort of a globalized, millennial take on reggae, and while it lacks the rootsy charm of his father’s classic records, it’s nice to see the Marley clan doing their own thing and doing it well.” The brothers will return to Portland on their Traffic Jam tour with a medley of their solo hits and their father’s timeless classics.
