Description

Celebrate the end of an epic summer with a concert featuring the Duppy Conquerors, Boston’s premier Bob Marley tribute band.

Nominated for a Boston Music Award, the Duppy Conquerors is a 9-piece ensemble of veteran musicians that embodies a soulful authenticity that honors Bob Marley and his timeless collection. Named after the artist’s hit song, the term Duppy Conqueror means “killer of bad spirits.” Audiences ride the wave of positivity as they dance along to hits like “Is this Love,” “Could you be Loved,” and “No Woman No Cry.”

“Bob Marley was about Spirit. His music touched many souls. It’s great to see the Duppy Conquerors capture that spirit and make it live anew. They play his songs with a beautiful conviction and love.”

~ Steve Morse, Boston Globe
