Marshall & The Fro........ "Infectious as Hell" - Sam Fell, RHYTHMS MAGAZINE Marshall & the fro create Aussie-Mojo workin Rock-Roots music; music that feels so natural and so comfortable it's like slipping into your favourite pair of double plugger’s and heading down to the pub for a coldie. Comprised of Marshall O’Kell on Guitar, Slide guitar, & Vocals, Nick Ohlson on Bass and Jacob Mann on Drums, Marshall & the fro are a refreshing modern Face generating a Progressive Roots Rock energy. The band’s music moves through the rich, raw and dirty, to the sweet and melodic. Featuring Marshall’s Delta edged vocals, charming stage presence and muddy slide guitar and massive driving rhythms from Nick and Jake, the band has an appeal beyond conscious control. From the first sound audiences are invariably drawn in …heads turn, feet tap, body’s sweat, endorphins flow … before you know it you are totally absorbed in the Marshall & the fro experience. Hailing from Byron Bay NSW and with an ever growing fan base, the year has seen Marshall & the Fro solidly booked at venues and festivals around Australia. Performing at Byron's East Coast Blues & Roots Fest, Broadbeach Blues Festival, Festival of the Sun, Gumball Fest, Queenscliff, & the upcoming Apollo Bay music Festival, Peats Ridge Festival and the Quiksilver Pro, the band have worked along side some of the biggest names around including Ben Harper, WolfMother, Joss Stone, Bonnie Rait, Mia Dyson, Clare Bowditch, Gotye, Xavier Rudd, Ash Grunwald and Dallas Frasca. Marshall & the fro have recently released their self titled debut album and film clip for feature track 'Thongs'.
