Each year thousands of Bob Marley fans congregate at Auditorium Shores in downtown Austin, TX for a weekend celebration of the legend & the man, his music & his message of hope, peace, and love. The 12th Annual Austin Marley Festival will feature locally and internationally known bands as diverse as the fans of Marley.
According to Ginger Cowles in the Austin American-Statesman the time is perfect for "Jammin' in the name of Marley". A one day pass is just $7, plus a food donation. Not a high price at all to hear entertaining reggae, ska, and rock bands pay homage to Marley's legacy. This festival of good reggae vibrations benefits the Capital Area Food Bank. Contrary to one report, Bob Marley is not alive, but his music and spirit is more alive than ever in these challenging times. So people get ready - get up, stand up - celebrate great music and give to a worthy cause. One love. ~DIY-Danna
