Sounds Like: 20-year veteran of the Austin, Texas Music scene. SpeedLimit (aka: Marvin Gershowitz) has played virtually all of the major venues in Austin, Texas between 1980 - 2003. A well know secret among industry regulars of the area, SpeedLimit and his various bands have averaged more weekly gigs than most of the publicized bands over the same period. After repeated encouragement by nationally known artists from the Austin Community, SpeedLimit has hit the road as many well known Texas musicians have in order to create their national presence. Like the blues and country players whose regional roots were strongly attached, SpeedLimit comes like a different wild wind both familiar and unusually memorable at the same time. Marvin (aka: SpeedLimit) is a timeless artist with no limits for a listener demanding something new and something old in order to create something special and different!
