This week I sit down with an absolute phenom of a local musician, Marshall Stone. Marshall is an award-winning solo acoustic musician as well as the lead singer of the band LODI. He performs over 200 gigs annually at venues all over PA, MD, and WV. Marshall’s vocal range and guitar abilities wow audiences and keep them coming back for more, making him one of the most successful AND in-demand artists in our area. In this episode, we discuss what Marshall does to stand out in a sea of live performers, including:

The difference between band performance and solo
Booking advice

Being willing to take risks and learn new things
Pushing through difficulties
