Aston Barrett Jr., who plays drums for The Wailers at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, Florida on November 7, 2019.

Whenever we see a show from The Wailers, the next question is always, “which Wailers?” The version coming to Jannus Live on Thursday is led by renowned bassist and founder Aston “Familyman” Barrett, who’s joined by original Wailers guitarist Donald Kinsey. Aston Barrett Jr. handles drums on this one, and we’re sure fans of Bob Marley will have a good time regardless.

The Wailers. Thurs. Nov 7, 7 p.m. $23. Jannus Live, St. Petersburg. axs.com.
