Tony Marriott

Vancouver based musician Tony Marriott writes songs that linger in the mind, and hold a depth that demands repeated listening. He has a defiantly honest lyrical style, backed by his own unique guitar playing and writing, that comes from years of experience. A veteran bassist with a sordid musical past, Tony began playing in various lineups inspired by 60'-70's Brit-rock; especially the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. He attended two music schools. First, M.I. in Los Angeles, CA., (were he roomed and played in several bands with the late Jeff Buckley), and later, Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Eventually this led to touring with several high profile rhythm and blues act's across the U.S and Canada, and also was a long time resident of San Francisco's eclectic scene. This led Tony full circle to Vancouver, where for the next several years, he honed and infused much of this experience into his unique style of song writing. His latest, and third musical offering, 'Solitude', is a diverse collection of songs that run the musical gamut from beatle-esque pop, to shimmering ballads, guitar driven rock and back again. This new CD is leaps and bounds ahead of previous efforts, already regarded by a growing following of fans, to be 'must have'. Tony can currently be found testing out new material in various Vancouver venues from his latest CD, "Solitude", available for sale on iTunes June 7st.
