His fierce acoustic music is laden with ambient effects and percussive dynamics. Marshall's style is progressive while retaining the sincerity of his roots in music. As a previous member of Stonefed, he helped catapult the band to receive the "best unsigned band in Utah" award from City Weekly/City Search. His latest project includes playing for two Major League Soccer charities, Kicks for Kids and Right to Play, with M.L.S. ReAL Salt Lake.
H.I.S.D. (HUEston Independent Spit District) - "TruSkoolCrew"
"Welcome to the District.." H.I.S.D. (Hueston Independent Spit District) was born in through the collaboration of eight artists of varying mediums wanting to introduce a refreshing perspective to the sound and visual aesthetic of hip hop culture, classic soul music, poetry, visual art, fashion, and photography.
Mutual respect and appreciation for the cultural significance and influence achieved by creatively bridging these art forms, brought Savvi (hip hop artist/entrepreneur), Equality (poet/writer/emcee/architect/visual artist), LdaVoice (emcee), Scottie Spitten aka Lenoge(emcee), plus GoldenSoulClassics which consist of producers, King Midas, Soul One (DJ/radio personality), E-Classic, and Jason "Flash Gordon Parks" Woods (photographer/DJ), together to form H.I.S.D under the Peace Uv Mine Entertainment Group umbrella.
The highly anticipated debut project from H.I.S.D."The District" on Peace Uv Mine Entertainment is in stores now!!!

The Williams Brothers Band - Grand Junction, Colorado
THE WILLIAMS BROTHERS were molded in the streets of Oakland, California during the seventies listening to their parents vast blues & country vinyl collection, the funk that flowed out of boomboxes (pre hip-hop), and the psychedelic folk rock that blossomed in the East Bay Area during that time. Inevitably the brothers followed their families lineage of song and dance men(Gr,Gr,Gr,Great Grandpa penned the traditional favorite, "Sweet Betsy from Pike" in mid 1800's. While Great Grandpa had a country swing big band that toured the US extensively in the 1920s-1930s), The brothers started putting together their first groups in the mid 1980's. (Uncle John's Band, 922, The Homegrown Boogie Band)
A WILLIAMS BROTHERS show features intertwining songs and extended improv induced jams fueled by any and all audatory stimulus to have ever sounded, there is no genre or barrier that is considered unusuable, all previous artists are an influence in one way or another, it is true old school original jam music. JAMES WILLIAMS vocals are inspired by the grit of JIM MORRISON, the soul of OTIS REDDING and the personal experience of JERRY GARCIA. PHILLIP WILLIAMS plays lead guitar with a deep blues style that is noticeably influenced by JIMI HENDRIX, DUANE ALLMAN, ALVIN LEE and at times with a fluidity that is eerily reminescent of JERRY GARCIA. Whether solo, together as "ACOUSTIC WB" or with their back-up group THE HOMEGROWN BOOGIE BAND, WILLIAMS BROTHERS shows are always full of surprises & special guests. it is never the same show twice.
THE WILLIAMS BROTHERS BAND hit #1 on the mp3.com Blues charts 12/19/06 with JOHNNY THE SQUIRREL, coupled by DEEP ELEM BLUES which was simultamiously perched at #7 (eventually reaching as high as #4).
TWBB has released a total of four albums (Three live recordings & one studio release), and have countless live bootleg recordings circulating throughout the tape trading ranks. TWBB is currently in the studio working on their next studio album which will be released Spring '07.
