From Essex County, Canada’s southernmost point, fingerstyle guitarist Max Marshall has a passion for crafting songs out of stories from the vast palate of the Canadian folk Identity. With country blues and ragtime influences, he delivers a heartfelt, personal performance that extends from soft introspection to frenzied bluesy interpretations featuring a largely underexposed style of acoustic guitar.

Velvet Groove is a father-daughter duo blending the best of jazz, blues, Motown, contemporary, classic rock, and country. Smooth, soulful, versatile, and slightly unpredictable. We perform familiar songs with a fresh edge, music you know and love, reimagined.
