A little background

I relocated from Los Angeles to Paris nearly 4 years ago with the wild ambition of expanding my musical path and starting a new band. I wanted to incorporate my new experiences, exchanges of culture, and I also sought to create a group that would stay and work together long-term to develop a synergy all its own.

In developing the Robby Marshall Quartet, I have discovered just that and much more. The band has been working together for 3 years now. After developing a unique repertoire and logging in many shows, we committed to document the songs in the studio and releasing the finished product as an album.

The Album

With this album, I wanted to create a mysterious yet inviting space for listener and musician alike, in which the melodies and harmonies can guide us to unknown but profound places. We really played in service of the songs, and group dynamic is almost always favored above individual solos.

The result is a sonic terrain that I hope will be both inspiring and imaginative for you. I want this collection of songs to grow inside of you over many plays, like a friendship that develops over time.

All of the songs were written since my move to Europe, and each one crystallizes a period of discovery or reaction to the people, places, and music that have inspired me along the way.
