Marshall Rocks Country

Country singer, storyteller and entertainer Marshall makes dynamic, homespun music based on
his everyday life and observations about the human condition. Packed with soul and
grit, his tunes are radiant with infectious guitar melodies, rollicking rhythms and nostalgic poetry.
Marshall channels his fresh, frank views on love, loss, self-discovery and moving on through his
gravelly voice seasoned with a drop of sweetness. A generous and engaging performer, he
connects to audiences through his energetic live shows, inviting them into his expressive inner
world.

Marshall’s solo debut, Sinners and Saints features six heartfelt songs that bloom from a place of
deep honesty and real-world experience. Produced by two-time Grammy nominee Travis Wyrick
(Dolly Parton, Charlie Daniels, Shinedown) in Knoxville, the material on the EP flowed out of
Marshall when he moved to Nashville after the brutal end of a long-time romance. The album is
brimming with heartbreak and hope and shows his growth as a songwriter as well as his ability
to glide through many musical styles, including modern and retro country, rock, folk and
everything in between.

A passion for music has coursed through Marshall’s veins since his childhood split between
rural West Virginia and North Carolina; he hails from three generations of accomplished
musicians and singers. He came up listening to country radio hits by artists such as Restless
Heart, Lonestar, George Strait and John Michael Montgomery, often while riding around in his
uncle’s truck. On New Year’s Day when he was 16-years old, he discovered his father’s old
bass guitar in a closet and started learning to play it while experimenting with throwing together
his own lyrics. Before long, he was seeking out concerts with friends, playing in bands and
putting poetry to music, embracing that he was fated to be a country singer/songwriter.
Marshall has already garnered many accomplishments as a musician. He has played bass and
sung in both rock and country groups, played thousands of shows and recorded half a dozen
studio albums. He has released singles that have charted in the top 10 on R&R charts. Marshall
also supported country artist Jody Lee Petty on bass, touring the southeast and opening for
nationally-known acts including Colt Ford, Josh Thompson, Justin Moore and David Allen Coe.

Drawing inspiration from great country crooners such as Travis Meadows, Jason Isbell, Chris
Stapleton and Dierks Bentley, who are capable of painting vivid pictures with words, Marshall is
now boldly embarking on a solo career and preparing for the official release of Sinners and
Saints. He is currently building a robust backing band and booking both acoustic and full-band
shows throughout the southeast and mid-Atlantic states.
