The FULLY FULLWOOD BAND:
FULLY FULLWOOD

Bandleader Fully Fullwood is one of the most popular and well-known bass players in the world, and he has worked and recorded with almost every single major artist out of Jamaica. His ‘rap-sheet’ reads like a who’s who of the twentieth century’s most important musical artists.

A true ‘original and never to be duplicated”, FULLY FULLWOOD is the main engine that drives the music and band of the “TOSH meets MARLEY” Tour.

The driving bass of Fully Fullwood and legendary rhythm guitarist Tony Chin are powerful and booming, carrying Vince’s distinctive guitar and voice to a colorful mixture of melody and cool vibes. Vince works his music, experiments with it, dissects it and expects a lot of himself. His warm and sensual guitar adds a touch of realism to the Tosh meets Marley material he warmly refers to as ‘a tribute to one of reggae’s all time greatest souls’.
