“I’ve got something to say, but I just don’t know how to say it. So, I wrote this song.”
Says the words of Marshall’s song, Merry-Go-Round, on this latest recording; Carnivals & Other Tragedies. And that pretty much sums up his approach to songwriting.
Writing songs has always been how Marshall condenses and expresses the emotions of the world.
Whether serious of fun, each song, has it's own story to tell. Plus they're great fun to perform live.
Marshall has recorded three CDs. The first was “Overflow of the Heart” in 2007.
The second, “Painting the Scene,” in 2012, received excellent reviews and local airplay.
And then came the 2018 studio release, “Carnivals & Other Tragedies”
Plus, since then, there's a group of new songs that are "aching" to be recorded and heard. :-D
Marshall performs solo and with a band, Marshall and the Deputies, regularly around Chicago, the Midwest, and beyond.
