Ziggy Marley lit up the Ogden Theatre on Saturday night with his infectious, positive blend of reggae and rock. Reggae’s favorite son was in Denver supporting his new release “Wild and Free.” Marley and his band really came alive in the second half of his set, powering through some of the most important reggae songs of all time as well as original material from his more than 25 years as a recording artist. Marley’s signature grin was echoed by the smiles on the faces of the hazy, happy Ogden crowd.
