Profiles

Marley's Ghost is a band based in Northern California which has existed since the mid-1980s and has recorded nine albums. While their music has a strong bluegrass emphasis, their musical style is diverse. Paste magazine has described them as "a decidedly unusual band, as capable of reanimating Appalachian folk songs as they are traditional Celtic fare, honky tonk and reggae."

Their personnel as of 2009 are

  • Mike Phelan: Guitars, Dobro, bass, fiddle, lead & harmony vocals, writer.
  • Ed Littlefield Jr.: Pedal steel, guitars, bass, fiddle, Highland bagpipes lead & bass vocals
  • Dan Wheetman: Bass, National Steel, Fiddle, Guitar, lead & harmony vocals, writer.
