Reggae will rule in a big way March 9 at The Red Dog as due respect is paid the late Bob Marley.
Starting at 10 p.m., the fifth annual salute to the famed reggae singer will see Dub Trinity handle the bulk of the music with help from dub poet Chet Singh and DJ Talk Is Cheap.
Dub Trinity will perform a number of Marley standards alongside less heard tracks spanning his career.
Also on the set list are covers of songs by other reggae artists such as Black Uhuru.
For his part, Chet Singh will feature new songs from his follow-up collaboration with the band.
His new album, set for a May/June release, features music by Dub Trinity and Jarrett Prescott.
The live music breaks will be handled by Talk Is Cheap.
The Jamaican-born Marley, who died of cancer in 1981 at age 36, is widely heralded as the first global music star to emerge from a developing nation.
