TORONTO — SiriusXM Canada today announced a year-round channel dedicated to the legacy of Bob Marley will launch exclusively on SiriusXM on December 3.
Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio channel will be available on SiriusXM channel 19 and will feature the cultural icon’s entire live and recorded music catalogue, including rare recordings, some of which have never been made available to the public. This is the latest addition to SiriusXM’s artist-focused music channels and is being launched in partnership with the Marley family.
In addition to showcasing Marley’s music, the channel (to be curated by the Marley family) will include a wide range of Caribbean music from its inception to present day. The channel will also highlight the branches of Marley’s still-growing musical legacy, including The Wailers, I-Threes, Tuff Gong International, the record label founded by Marley in the ’70s, and his children and grandchildren as they continue to make their own impact on reggae and popular music.
The channel will originate from Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica, including “Jam-In”, a monthly live music session featuring performances by Jamaican artists, says the press release.
Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio will launch December 3 at 12 p.m. ET on SiriusXM radios (channel 19) and on the SiriusXM app. For more information about the channel, please visit www.siriusxm.ca/bobmarleytuffgong.
