On the album Transcendence, Marty creates a sound that transcends genres and displays his virtuosic guitar abilities. His voice is strong, soulful and adds to the power of this album. Combining the power of Rock and Roll, with Pop sensibilities and Funk grooves "Transcendence" grabs hold of you and takes you for a musical ride that's fun and emotive. Marty calls upon A-list drummer Sean O'Rourke (Sugarland, Derek Trucks, Mothers Finest, Aquarium Rescue Unit) to help add the groove. The songs are well crafted and show a youthful fire, while maintaining maturity beyond his years.
