We met Marshall at a Tennessee Blues Mob concert in Florida, and we became instant friends. A Great guy, with experience and passion. And his love of the Indie artist is dynamic. We found ourselves on the same page. Always a pleasure to see him, and we consider him an outstanding colleague. Kim 'Kimbo' Groff, Keltstache Music
