It was an AWESOME show, even though I got a contact from all the  up in there.  I was VERY impressed with his live show and the energy and aura he projected. And just like his father, the band and the back up singers were TIGHT!  After the show at House of Blues I went to a local reggae club where Stephen showed up to do a quick afterset. Apparently, he was performing in Mexico the next day so had to keep it short. Got a chance to chat with him and he was sooooo cool. If he comes to your town, it is well worth going to see him.  Oh and look, he'll be at First Avenue on 6/10.  [Edited 5/20/08 3:39am] | |

Here's a review.
Stephen Marley draws from deep roots 12:00 AM CDT on Monday, May 19, 2008 By LORRIE IRBY JACKSON / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News lorrieirby@hotmail.com Lorrie Irby Jackson is a Dallas freelance writer. Stephen Marley accomplished two remarkable feats during his 90-minute set Saturday night at the House of Blues: He paid homage to his father Bob's iconic legacy while cementing his own, blending his traditional roots-reggae sound with Americanized influences of soul, hip-hop and blues. Fans greeted the 36-year-old and his band with unbridled enthusiasm, rocking and swaying through "Rastaman Vibration," "Get Up Stand Up," and tracks from his Grammy Award-winning solo debut, 2007's Mind Control ("Let Her Dance," "Iron Bars" and "You're Gonna Leave"). With his wiry frame, majestic crown of locks and mellifluous vocals, Mr. Marley is every bit his father's son, but the level of musicianship and crowd-endearing charisma he possesses is all his own. "We greet you in the name of I Threes," said Stephen with a warm, wide grin, referring to his dad's group of backup vocalists, before gifting ears with eerily spot-on covers of "No Woman No Cry," "Buffalo Soldier" and "Jammin.' " What the second-born son of Bob and Rita created on stage amounted to a delectable reggae stew enhanced with a spicy mixture of R&B ("Hey Baby"), blues ("Lonely Avenue") and funk ("Mind Control") underscored with his piercing electric guitar licks, an undulating pair of female vocalists and dancers waving the Jamaican flag in time to the beats. His opening act, listed as Gully Bank Sound and consisting of a DJ calling himself "the Swamp King a.k.a. the Lion King," contributed to the Marley lovefest with traditional versions and hyper-sped remixes of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Iron Lion Zion" and "War." He frequently left the turntables to leap and dance along to the music. "Put up the lion's paw if you're a fan of Bob Marley!" he commanded in his musical patois. The crowd obeyed less frequently as his 90-minute set wore on. | |
