“The Fruit is about the different branches; there are many pages within my mind, many colors and ideas” says Marley. “We come from a versatile generation that can’t be put in a box.”

Marley will spend the summer on the road sharing The Fruit with a coast-to-coast U.S. run including multiple festivals and encompassing 44 cities ending in New Orleans on Sunday, 24 July.
