One of reggae’s finest musicians, Ziggy Marley is set to perform live onstage for the first time at the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre bringing with him his message of humanity and togetherness and the need to unite as family through the power of song.

Monday, October 17th, 2016 in an exclusive Vancouver-island performance, Ziggy Marley brings his message directly to the people as this legendary reggae-man embarks on a world tour showcasing music from his self-titled album Ziggy Marley. With his own distinctive reggae sound, he weaves elements of rock, funk, soul and pop with music inspired by empowerment, enlightenment, freedom and, as with many of Ziggy’s songs, the higher power of love.

“Everything happens when it’s meant to happen,” shares Ziggy. “That’s how my career has been since the beginning. Each project is inspired. There are metaphysical and universal things at work in all of our lives. It’s natural and organic. This album is another one of those moments. The message came to me. It’s here at the right time, and I’m ready to share it.”

An internationally renowned singer, songwriter and humanitarian, Ziggy Marley has built a music legacy worthy of his legendary family name. Throughout the course of his three-decade career, he continually progresses at every turn with 16 albums, seven Grammy® Awards and an Emmy® to his credit.

Ziggy’s musical history dates back to ten-years-old when he would watch his father Bob Marley record in the studio. His eight-album catalog with the Melody Makers encompasses three GRAMMY® Awards, countless sold out shows, and anthems including “Look Who’s Dancing,” “Tomorrow People,” and “Conscious Party.” Since making his solo debut in 2003, he received the GRAMMY® Award for “Best Reggae Album” in 2006, 2012, and 2015 in addition to the Award for “Best Children’s Album” in 2011 recognizing his first children’s album Family Time. That same year, he released his graphic novel debut, MARIJUANAMAN. In 2012, he launched Ziggy Marley Organics, which quickly became a leader in GMO-free coconut oils and hemp seed snacks available in 1000 stores. 2013 saw him achieve a Daytime EMMY® Award for “I Love You Too” and release a children’s book of the same name.
