Marshall & The Fro Take ‘Live at The Backroom’ on
the Road

Whether
with his classic outfit ‘The Fro’, or in various other guises, Byron
Shire local Marshall Okell has become one of the most enduring faces
of the blues and roots festival scene in Australia, and for good
reason. With an incredible work ethic and commitment to live
performance, and with four excellent studio albums in his wake,
Marshall has been called upon to get the party started at most bluesy
festival for the past 10 or so years.
For
someone so rooted in the live touring circuit it may come as a surprise
that Marshall has waited for album number five to release a live
recording. Recorded in iconic Byron Bay venue The Great Northern
Hotel to a frothing crowd of devotees, new album ‘Live at The
Backroom’ traces Okell’s story from the opening track of his 2007
debut album ‘Marshall & The Fro’, through to brand spanker
‘Taxi’.
The
‘Marshall and The Fro name has been relaunched for this release with
Luke ‘Fergo’ Fergusson, Nick Lemmits, and Ben Cox supplying world
class vibes on this collection of crowd favourites.
‘Live at The
Backroom’ is available where all good music is sold, their launch
tour takes in hot spots on the east coast this autumn.
