Twilight Thursdays: Smokin Lion Band—The Music of Bob Marley
Bring your blankets and lawn chairs, pack a picnic basket, and enjoy music beneath the stunning sunset of Forest Park.
Bob Marley grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, amid oppression, poverty, and racism—themes that would echo throughout his powerful music in songs including “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Them Belly Full (but We Hungry).” But his voice could also be a call to action (“Get Up, Stand Up”), and instrument of comfort (“No Woman, No Cry”), and a cause for hope (“Three Little Birds”). Marley brought reggae and political awareness to audiences across the globe, and his music and messages continue to resonate decades after his death: TIME magazine named Marley’s 1977 album Exodus the album of the century, and he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Twilight Thursdays are presented by WashU.
