While Old Soulshowcased Ragga’s versatility, the message within the music remains consistent. “We come to free the people’s minds,” says Stephen. “Only way you can free your soul is to freeyour mind. My father say, ‘No chains on my feet, but I’m not free.’ And then he come say,‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.’ Anywhere the music calls us, we are going to be there to spread the message of love and unity.”Stephen Marley’s prolific touring schedule in 2024 encompassed an array of dates and configurations including his ‘Old Soul’ Unplugged Tour, a co-headline run on Michael Franti’s ‘Togetherness’ Tour and appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival and Bottlerock Napa, ‘Traffic Jam’ with Damian Marley including Red Rocks with the Denver Symphony and The Hollywood Bowl, as well as premiering at the re-opening of Brooklyn’s famed Paramount Theatre.
