The legendary reggae group The Wailers will bring their Natural Mystic 30th Anniversary Tour to Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley next spring. This show marks three decades since their influential “Natural Mystic” album first dropped, and the band keeps that musical legacy alive—still carrying the spirit of Bob Marley with them.
Aston Barrett Jr., son of original Wailers bassist “Familyman” Barrett, leads the crew. They serve up those authentic reggae rhythms, honoring their roots but also connecting with fresh ears and new generations.

The Wailers’ Legacy
Few bands have shaped global music culture quite like The Wailers. As Bob Marley’s band, they helped introduce reggae to the world in the 1970s.
Musical Importance
The Wailers aren’t just another touring act—they’re living musical history. Their rhythms drive legendary albums like “Catch a Fire,” “Burnin’,” and “Exodus.”
With Aston Barrett Jr. at the helm, the lineup keeps things real, staying close to the original band’s sound and vibe. Expect classics like “Three Little Birds,” “Buffalo Soldier,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” and maybe a few deeper cuts if you’re lucky.
The Sweetwater Experience
Sweetwater Music Hall really is a sweet spot for a show like this. It’s a cozy downtown Mill Valley venue with a pro sound system and a vibe that feels up close and personal.
Venue Advantages
With only a few hundred spots, you’ll feel close to the action no matter where you are. The venue brings a few perks:
Practical Considerations
Before you head out, keep a couple of things in mind:
Getting There
Sweetwater Music Hall sits at 19 Corte Madera Avenue, right in downtown Mill Valley. It’s about 14 miles north of San Francisco.
If you’re driving from the city, give yourself 30-45 minutes via Highway 101 to the Mill Valley/Stinson Beach exit. Golden Gate Transit buses also get you there, and you can connect to Mill Valley from various stops.
It’s honestly worth grabbing dinner in Mill Valley before the show. Playa serves up Mexican food just steps away, and Bungalow 44 does California cuisine a short walk from the venue.
Why This Concert Matters
The Wailers aren’t just another band on tour. They’re a living, breathing link to reggae’s golden era.
For longtime fans, their shows spark real nostalgia. If you’re new to reggae, it’s hard to imagine a better way to get your first taste.
This 30th anniversary of “Natural Mystic” lands in an intimate Marin County venue. Honestly, their songs about unity and resilience still hit home, no matter your age.
