Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley & Stephen Marley grace the Northern Alberta Jubilee Stage for the TRAFFIC JAM 2025 TOUR.
Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, a multi-Grammy-winning Jamaican talent and the youngest son of the legendary Bob Marley, has forged a unique musical path. Blending reggae with hip-hop, R&B, and rock, he made history as the first reggae artist to win a Grammy outside the genre. His breakthrough album, "Welcome To Jamrock," clinched two Grammys for Best Reggae Album, and the Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the title track, which was also declared the best reggae song of the decade by The New York Times.
Collaborations with Nas and Skrillex, notably the platinum-selling "Make It Bun Dem," showcase Marley's diverse musical prowess. Rolling Stone hailed "Make It Bun Dem" as a monster mash-up of dubstep and dancehall." "Stony Hill," his fourth studio album, secured another Grammy, followed by "The Kalling," winning Best Reggae Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Recently, his rendition of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" received acclaim from Olivia Harrison and the George Harrison Estate. As the co-founder of the renowned Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise, Damian continues to shape the reggae scene, gearing up for its 10th annual voyage.
