Reggae Sumfest Festival goers will be treated to a rare father/son performance in Bob Marley’s beloved homeland. The Main Event Night 2 line-up was already pure fire, now with the addition of Stephen & Jo Mersa it’s molten hot. To be able to see Stephen Marley & Jo Mersa Marley live along with other top names in Reggae all in one night make the festival a must.

This year’s Reggae Sumfest is definitely going to be the Reggae Festival of the year.

Stephen Robert Nesta “Raggamuffin” Marley (born April 20, 1972) is an American Jamaican musician, who is the son of Bob Marley and his wife Rita Marley. Stephen is an eight-time Grammy award winner, three times as a solo artist, twice as a producer of younger brother Damian Marley’s ‘Halfway Tree’ and ‘Welcome to Jamrock’ albums, and a further three times as a member of Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers.

Jo Mersa Marley
Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley (born March 12, 1991 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican American reggae artist.1 He is the eldest son of Stephen Marley and grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley.

He debuted in 2014 releasing, through iTunes and Spotify, an EP “Comfortable”. He also appeared on a Grammy-winning album Strictly Roots by Morgan Heritage.2 – Wikipedia

As the eldest son of Stephen Marley and grandson of Bob Marley, Joseph “Jo Mersa” Marley grew up surrounded by music. By the time he was four years old, Jo was appearing onstage alongside his father, his uncle Ziggy and aunts Cedella and Sharon (a.k.a. Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers) and their children as part of the group’s rousing concert finales with Jo often taking the mic and chanting the lyrics to the Melody Makers’ biggest songs, much to the delight of their audiences. Born in Kingston, Jamaica on March 12, 1991, Jo moved to Miami at age 11 where he keenly observed his father and his uncle Damian as they created music in Stephen’s Lion’s Den studio. Back then school was the priority for Jo; traveling with Ziggy and the Melody Makers was reserved for school breaks and summer vacations, yet those experiences provided first hand opportunities for Jo to expand his musical aspirations beyond the performance stage.
