 The lazy month of August is Summer bringing the dog days our way.  These hot days arouse a heavy thirst. Heavy Thirst is the song on  "What Matters" calling everyone who is parched to raise a glass for peace.  All together now!

The fireworks are cooling down but the weather is heating up!  Make sure to keep the fans and air conditioning blowing cool your way.  "What Matters" is your musical accompaniment for chillin' out (or in).  Thanks to everyone who has bought the music in CD or download versions and thanks to everyone who is streaming the music and sharing it with friends.  There is no limit to how far music can take you on a hot Summer day making memories! 

The Summer outlook is bright.  We are all relaxing into a healthier future and joining together with each other in large groups to celebrate.  Let's all celebrate together on June 12, 2021 at Bold Rock CIdery in Nellysford, Virginia with an outdoor concert by Marshall Artz! Come out from 1 to 4 in the afternoon and listen to the music.  Let your heart beat free.  Let's go where the music's playing.  This feels like coming home since being gone due to the pandemic.  We will be playing songs from our new album "What Matters" so get your copy now and be ready to sing along. You can count on the Americana and Acoustic Rock music that Marshall Artz delivers like nobody else can.  A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

This short month of February has been full of quick cold weather events reminding us that Winter is still with us.  There are only 28 days this month and they have flown by.  Only 20 days after we enter the month of March is the first day of Spring!  The trees will be budding and flowers opening to show us Nature's gentle slide into warmer days.  A new season means new music from Marshall Artz.  Our last studio date at Cue is the first week in March and puts us on track for a Spring release.  We can't wait to share it all with you!  In the meantime be well.  Keep a song in your heart and a smile on your face.   

January jammin' is virtual and long distance with folks tuning in to concerts broadcast from somewhere other than the club down the street.  For some of  us January jammin' is lounging around in our jammies all day long with nowhere to go.  Get out your guitar, put on some music and play along.  If you don't have a guitar just tap your feet and drum around on the kitchen table,  Tune into Marshall Artz videos on YouTube or Vimeo and get that band in the club down the street feeling again! Hover on the Photos tab and click on the Video button at this web site to save some time,  Be well and treat yourself to a bright start to the New Year!

Winter begins with the longest night of the year.  Welcome the Winter solstice and the holiday season at its onset.  Treat yourself to hot toddies and warm nights inside by the fireplace.  Be well! 

This coming week is one of Thanksgiving in the USA as we focus on the good we share together with our families and fellow citizens.  Unlike the celebrations in years past we are celebrating close to home and in smaller numbers.  That doesn't mean the sentiment is diminished but perhaps refocused.  Maybe the amps aren't turned up to 11 but the music is still playing!  Let the music play on. May we experience harmony in our response to the challenges facing us all as we roll into the fireside days of Autumn and Winter.  The ember glow will warm our hearts and quicken our spirits in time with the acoustic music filling our ears this season.  Brad and Kevin a.k.a. Marshall Artz wish you peace, hope, love and happiness throughout this holiday season.

October  is busting out with color here in the Mid-Atlantic region of Virginia.  From the piedmont to the top of the mountains there is a veritable blooming of Fall foliage.  If you needed an excuse to go for a drive you have one now,  Music is the perfect companion on the road,  Tune in to the sounds and sights and let your face break into a smile. Wave when we pass each other out there!
