Marshall has emerged in 2017 with a new level of addictive, heart and mind altering musical energy. This guy doesn’t just make music. He’s a roaring powerhouse of a man, and this gig will get under your skin, into your blood and course through you like a visceral super-high of the likes you won’t come down from easily.

Now in his 30’s, with up to 200 live gigs a year as part of his repertoire, Marshall has developed into a rocking bluesman like no other. His ever expanding list of musical accolades includes the 2012 ‘Best Blues & Roots Artist’ at the Oz Music Awards.
With years of playing now under his belt, Marshall has made a notable return to the music of his youth,  deep, raw, honest, dirty blues sound that grabs you by the throat and then sooths you with a sweet honey tasting musical medicine. There are pure guts, sweat and emotion in his latest material that leave you exhausted and elated in their wake.

Marshall grew up on the NSW far North Coast area of Byron Bay and was aptly named after two of music’s greatest rock/bluesmen (Jimi ‘Marshall’ Hendrix and Johnny ‘Dawson’ Winter). His father Glenn was a Melbourne based rock-n-roll guitarist who nourished his son’s musical appetite with Hendrix, Winter, Waters, Little Feat and AC/DC.

Marshall became well known for his lead in the group ‘Marshall and the Fro’ . The 1st self-titled full album in 2007, ‘Marshall and the Fro’, set the stage for a new wave of pumping surf mojo roots and blues, including the hugely popular tracks ‘Get Up’ and ‘Thongs’.
