Marvin's profile
Marv has been a mainstay for many years in the music scenes from Philly to Baltimore Metro to DC to the Atlantic resorts (and occasionally Myrtle Beach, SC). He has been a lead singer in groups like The Decades, a Motown/R&B 10 piece band, and The Deacons, an originals, blues, rockabilly, alternative roots group. He has been the bassist and one of the lead singers in bands like Scrimshaw, Head Over Heels, 2BitRevue, Fabulous Sluggos, Graffiti, Tommy Roberts & The Tristeros, Blues You Can Use, and Gamler's Ramblers (aka The River Band), Denim n' Lace, and When Thunder Comes. He performs individually at various coffeehouses and fundraisers and is the backup bassist for Beerdz Hill Rode and Strait Shooter. When not appearing with KING LEWMAN, an original alternative folk-rock band, he can be found onstage otherwise at jams, open mics, coffeehouses, and invitationals.
To keep his chops up, to retain his edge, and to remain nimble, he is an active member of the Baltimore Guitarist Group, a community of musicians who hold open mics, perpetrate jams, and raise funds for Little Kids Rock to help promote music education and provide instruments to students. In BGG, he supports community service by performing at senior centers, and he promotes music education among his peers encouraging beginning performers to get before an audience.
Marv has been a booking agent, manager, promoter and producer for groups like Tregwater, The Illuminati, Richard Taylor & The Ravers, Silent Partner, Fate, and, of course, bands for whom he plays through the auspices of his company, LGM Enterprises and its subsidiary, Thuh SwitchingYard, an arts, events and media consortium. Marv was one of the performance coordinators who helped develop Open Door Cafe in Bel Air, MD.
These days, at a ripe vintage, it's tough making a living as a musician. Marv hopes to someday be able to afford the cost to repair his 1970 Gibson EB3 bass.
