Marshall's passion for keyboards began in grade school when a childhood friend played the entertainer for him. Several years of classical training nearly ended that passion until he heard his friends making a bunch of garage band noise and suggested that he get a keyboard to join them. Little did he know that he'd be still at it with those same fools 20+ yrs later! Some of the projects he has been involved with include Passengerband, Lamina Groove and Russian Solution. His piano influences range from Chopin to Hornsby and for the organ it's all about Jimmie Smith, John Medeski and Robert Walter... Funkae!
