Marshall & The Fro

Marshall and The Fro are a household name these days on the roots festival circuit and in their home, the North Coast surfing mecca of Lennox Head, NSW. They’re known for their powerful, pulsing roots/rock music, the soundtrack to the summer for many a carefree festival freak.

Marshall Okell, driving force and songwriter, recently recruited his newest member, Luke "Fergo" Ferguson on bass. The big, affable redhead also has a five-octave range that lifts their dual choruses into deep space. Their drummer, Jacob Mann, known affectionately as Poodle, is a hugely likeable unstoppable force, who pummels the kit like it’s his little brother. Marshall reckons he'd jump in front of a bullet for either of 'em.

Marshall's performances are igniting fervent reactions up and down the country. He displays the ability, like all great performers, to go inside his music, and inhabit it like a shaman. “I go somewhere in the cosmos when I play, time stops and I really don't know how long I'm out sometimes. When a massive crowd goes off I go a step further, I'm excited to find out how far a huge explosive crowd can push me” he reveals. Wherever he goes, it's working. Marshall and the Fro are set to ride into the big leagues and the release of the new album 'Friends For Life' is the tipping point. Once that wave rolls they’re in for a helluva ride.
