About Me |
|
| Marvin is a "seasoned" musician with 40 years of experience playing at least a little of any style of music you can think of, except maybe rap. He has played from Minot to San Antonio. In little Bandido bars in Texas with a band called Tightrope (see friends list), honky tonks in Dickinson, ND (the Johnny Bernard Show) , Eagles clubs in Lexington, NE (Touch Of Country) and churches in Colorado (Faithtones).
Along the way Marvin's 'day job' was as a social worker and psychotherapist for about 20 years. During that time he was in contact with a large cross section of America. He has worked with muderers, drunks and thieves as well as single moms and the dying. He tries to put some of what he as seen from all these into his songs. Give a listen and see if you can hear a bit of your own life in here somewhere. Here are some picutres of my performances

I consider him the "god of drums". I have also admired Carmine Appice, Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd and many others. On guitar I am a die hard Clapton/Hendrix wanna be. I also have been influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughn, B. B. King, Billy Gibbons and about every blues guitarist I have ever heard.
