Founder member, Roland Nair, who made his stage debut at the age of 12, has performed in 15 countries to capacity crowds of 75,000 with the likes of Bob Marley’s band, The Wailers. The Rivertones will have you grooving in no time to UB 40’s and Bob Marley Reggae favourites like “Redemption Song”, “Three Little Birds”, “One Love”, “No Woman No Cry”, “Stir It Up”, “Buffalo Soldier”, “Could You Be Loved”, “ Get Up Stand Up”, “Jamming”, Red Red Wine, Kingston Town amongst others.
