About Me

So, who is Marula anyway? We’re an acoustic project featuring Adam Sandler on guitar and Margaret Bates on vocals. And we rock. We also play shows with a full band complement, which also rocks.Former members of the rock band Bulb, we’ve been jamming and performing together since 2002, creating and recording an expansive repertoire of original music. For our gigs at various Toronto restaurants, we also cover everything from dirty blues and jazz, to folk, funk, rock and pop.In addition to our own shows and regular gigs, we have played for a wide variety of corporate and private functions, festivals and the TTC as approved Subway Musicians (http://www.ttc.ca/). Weather permitting, we can also be seen on various Toronto street corners, busking for the masses. For more news, pics and media downloads, visit our official band site at http://www.marula.ca/
