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.

Cooler days conspire to excite our senses. Spend some more time outside with a guitar around a firepit. Roast some marshmallows and wash them down with a hot toddy or two. Staying home doesn't mean staying inside. Be well and keep a song in your heart to put a smile on your face. </p>2:54Marshall Artztag:marshallartz.com,2005:Post/64151602020-08-22T18:19:23-04:002021-07-01T15:39:38-04:00August Summer Spirit<p>August is rolling on towards the beginning of Autumn.

<p><span class="font_regular">Wood burning in the fireplace warms the room conjuring pictures from the past and visions of the future. Our eyes are drawn to the flickering flames sparking imagination. This is a month for family, friends and Thanksgiving. Marshall Artz is celebrating at private parties and family gatherings. We are also spending time recording at Cue Studios in Falls Church, Virginia digging in on tracks for our next release. Enjoy every moment this month has to offer. Keep the music turned up loud and a smile on your face! See you again soon.</span></p>Marshall Artztag:marshallartz.com,2005:Post/59825882019-10-15T20:50:00-04:002019-11-27T20:48:24-05:00Rock in October<p>October started out sizzling hot! Mother Nature is trying to tell us something. Cool weather is around the corner, though, and that means perfectly comfortable conditions for outdoor shows like our upcoming Barrel Barn performance at Bold Rock. Friday, October 25th we are playing from 6 until 9 bringing everything we've got to rock the start of your weekend. But that is just the start. On Saturday, October 26th, we will be at The Edge at Wintergreen Resort from 8 until 11 warmed up and ready to keep the music rolling. We're looking forward to spending the weekend with all of you! See you there.</p>Marshall Artz
