Mostly Marley
Mostly Marley formed in 2003 with the idea of bringing Classic Reggae to an otherwise starving audience. The name stems from having been asked; "What kind of music do you play?" The answer would always be; "Classic Reggae by various artists, but mostly Marley."
Mostly Marley performs with passion while always remaining true to the spirit of Reggae. Mostly Marley is a band that takes you on a musical odyssey- with good times to be had by all.
Mostly Marley regularly performs around BC, most notably at The Blue Grotto in Kamloops where a faithful following always comes out, and The Rusty Gull in North Vancouver where the band has played for 5 years strong.
They also successfully played for a Reggae cruise in 2008, the Blue Mountain Festival in Coquitlam in 2009, and at the Surrey Fusion Festival in 2010.
Mostly Marley is the right choice for your event if you want people to get up and groove! read more...
