Marley’s dad’s songs draw biggest cheers
It has to be tough to be Ziggy Marley. First off, Marley’s still getting back on his feet after saying goodbye to his family back-up band the Melody Makers a few years ago. And while hitting the road with a set of mostly new musicians can be challenging enough, it’s the looming legend of his father, Bob, that hung over Marley’s Saturday set at the Ridglea Theater. It’s a shame, too, because in the last few years, Marley has turned into a first-rate songwriter in his own right.
