ABOUT JULIAN JUNIOR MARVIN
Julian Junior Marvin was born in Kingston, Jamaica. He moved to London as a child, where his family and the UK theater community nurtured his love for acting and music. He appeared in The Beatles’ film Help, followed by a number of successful appearances on British television. Julian Junior was also a member of the London cast of the musical Hair and can be heard on the original London cast recording.
After playing in various London-based bands, including Blue Ace Unit, Herbie Goins & The Night-Timers, White Rabbit, and Salt & Pepper, Julian Junior continued his musical apprenticeship in America, playing with such Blues and R&B legends as T-Bone Walker, Billy Preston and Ike & Tina Turner. He quickly earned a reputation as an innovative and expressive blues/rock guitarist. Invited to join the Keef Hartley Band, pioneers of the burgeoning British blues/rock scene, Julian Junior made a significant contribution as a writer, singer and lead guitarist to their acclaimed Seventy-Second Brave album. He also appeared on their follow-up release Lancashire Hustler. Julian Junior followed up with his own rock band, Hanson, who was quickly signed to Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Manticore label by Mario “The Big M” Medious, label manager. This was followed by the Hanson album Magic Dragon.
Finding himself an in-demand session guitarist, particularly for artists on the Island Records label, Julian Junior contributed to albums by Traffic, Fairport Convention, Reebop Kwaku Baah, Toots & The Maytals, Stomu Yamashta, Remi Kabaka, Eddie Quansah, Rico Rodriguez, and Steve Winwood.
In February 1977, Julian Junior Marvin was invited to join Bob Marley & The Wailers and the rest is history. The acclaimed Exodus LP became Julian Junior’s debut with Bob Marley & The Wailers and in 1999, Time Magazine declared Exodus “Album of The Century”. Julian Junior Marvin was lead guitarist and musical contributor on all subsequent Bob Marley & The Wailers albums, and toured worldwide with The Wailers until Bob’s passing in 1981. After touring with many incarnations of The Wailers since Bob Marley’s passing, Julian Junior has stepped out to front his own unique version of The Wailers – playing and singing Bob Marley & The Wailers hit songs the way Bob intended them to be heard.
