'About the Original Wailers'

'

Lead vocalist Chet Samuel was born to immigrant parents in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. His family home was filled with music. His father Louis (Pidgeon) Samuel was Chet's first influence – Samuel was a Caribbean folk singer from St. Kitts & Nevis and arrived in Puerto Rico in the late 'fifties. The elder Samuel would play the night club and hotel circuit in his new land. His son Chet would start his career as a singer in the Basseterre Boy School Choir. At the age of four, he went to St. Kitts to get acquainted with his West Indian background. His musical inspiration came from years of listening to the radio with his mom, Juanita Jenkins, to singers like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye. In 1989, Samuel would move to the United States and begin his career in music. He soon became part of the band Addis Now, who landed the award for Best Reggae Band at the Central Florida Jammies. Later, Samuel would join the band Exodus. With this band, he once again shared the honor of Best Reggae Band at the Jammies in 1992 and 1993. Exodus would change its name to 506CREW, and from then on Samuel dominated venues such as Ginger Bay's, Jamaican Me Crazy, The Mill, JJ Whispers, The Edge, Disney's Pleasure Island, and House of Blues. Samuel helped compose albums with 506CREW, including Many Moods, JAH Love, and Let's Sit Down and Talk It Over.

Howard Smith would start playing drums at the age of four. He has more than three decades of experience in the music business, and has performed with artists such as Kymani and Julian Marley, Burning Spear, Wyclef Jean, and many more. His abilities as an artist are not limited to the drums, and he also produces and writes as part of the dub production team Starr Rejects.

Everyone in Jamaica knows the name and story of Rohan Reid. The third of seven children, Reid hails from Kingston. He was encouraged to learn the bass when he was no older than six years old by his father, who taught him a few chords so he could perform in church. Little did Reid's parents know that their child would quickly learn and master the guitar and bass. All were amazed by his talent, and soon Reid's parents were fielding requests that their son accompany a number of bands. Reluctantly, Reid's mother allowed him to start playing around the world, knowing that his skill was a blessing from above.

Al Anderson was born in the early 'fifties, and is of African and Indian American descent. He father was a bassist in an R&B band, and his mother sang and played piano in church. Anderson's family would reach him music – everyone was in the military, or played music, or both. He grew up watching his uncles and aunts jamming in various houses, which inspired him at the age of thirteen to buy a bugle. He graduated from bugle to trombone to bass, and joined his first band at the age of sixteen. Anderson's cousin would teach him some riffs and chords on the guitar, leading Anderson to further explore that instrument. Anderson's first guitar was a butterscotch yellow 1965 Telecaster with a Bigsby vibrato and a maple neck, which he purchased in New York City from Manny's Music. Having obtained the guitar, he absconded to a Krishna temple for some soul searching – thanks in no small part of George Harrison's recent Concert for Bangladesh. Anderson later moved to St. Mark's Place in New York, spending most of his time listening to music at the Fillmore East. There, he met many of the venue's popular musicians and bands and became good friends with Aerosmith.
