Aston Francis Barrett (born 22 November 1946), often called “Family Man” or “Fams” for short, is a Jamaican musician and Rastafarian.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Aston “Family Man” Barrett was one of the Barrett brothers (the other being the younger brother on drums Carlton “Carly” Barrett) who played with Bob Marley and The Wailers, The Hippy Boys, and Lee Perry‘s The Upsetters. He was the bandleader of Marley’s backing band, as well as co-producer of the albums, and the man in charge of the overall song arrangements.

Barrett continues to tour with and lead The Wailers Band. He has great support from Marley’s fan base to this day, despite his legal wrangling with the Marley family. Barrett was the mentor and teacher of Robbie Shakespeare of the duo Sly & Robbie.
