Marshal Riley

About

Heartfelt, goofy, and devastatingly romantic, these are all things that describe Marshal Riley. It’s not just cheesy love songs (although a lot of it is), there are many aspects that make Marshal the musician he is today. As a producer, musician, and songwriter, it's not a stretch to say that music is a big part of his life.

His unique style of confessional folk music is influenced by artists/bands such as Ben Folds, Bon Iver, George Harrison, and Sufjan Stevens, among others. His experience in music production helps build a strong foundation in songwriting, harmonies, and lyrics that really draw listeners in.

He's made a name for himself in the local open mic scene, having hosted open mics himself at venues such as Modern Coffee and The Handsome Daughter. Well trusted within the music community, he opened for the band Spectrums in 2023 with his bandmate Karina Joy, to whom he continues to perform with at places like the Osborne Taphouse.

With a background of music production and theatre and songwriting, Marshal provides a musical experience truly unique to him.
