Matt Marshak is on a musical quest
Since Day One, Artist of the Year Matt Marshak’s calling has been diversity. With early days as a rock/pop sideman on New York City’s Bleeker Street to an international solo career in the funk/jazz world, he now continues his quest to expand his musical horizons.
Fans can catch Marshak in action during the festival at Jazz at the Brewery at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12, at Dogfish Head in Milton (511 Chestnut St.) and 10 p.m. with Nick Colionne at The Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach.
Marshak’s sound is influenced by artists such as Prince, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, George Benson, James Taylor, Keb Mo, Maxwell, Anthony Hamilton, BB King and Albert Collins.
The last few years have brought him to some of Europe's biggest jazz fests, placed him on the top 30 jazz chart, and have brought forth his latest release, "On The Rocks." This album features production and appearances by Carl Burnett (Larry Carlton/Robben Ford/Branford Marsalis), Mario Cruz (Jaco Pastorius), and Chris Kent (Steve Lukather).
