You can hear the Bourgeois OM burst pictured above on the cut "Passing Through" on Marshall's new CD "Jaggedland".

It is always big fun to see Marshall play, whether he is  solo or with a full band.  He is a great guitar player and we are really happy that he chooses to play a Bourgeois guitar much of the time he is playing acoustic.  He has owned a Slope D Cutaway since the 1990's and in 2005 we built him a Custom OM Burst in Adirondack & Indian  Rosewood.  

In addition to writing eight studio albums of original songs, Marshall has written books and liner notes, compiled tributes to everyone from the Louvin Brothers and Yogi Berra to Scott Walker.  He has even been a stage & movie star, portraying John Lennon in "Beatlemania" and Buddy Holly (in the 1987 feature film "La Bamba").   Most recently he was nominated for a Grammy for his song "Walk Hard" the title track for the film of the same name. The category is Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media.

What a guy.
