BIRDY ALBUM LAUNCH TOUR 🙂
‘Birdy’ is by far Marshall OKell’s finest work to date. Full of happiness, heartbreak, love and a bunch of new Australian anthems it will be on the lips of many a festival freak and music devotee. Its takes you from a deep rhythmic Paul Simon feel to booty shaking sweat sessions that tap into Old Hendrix and Allman Brothers 70’s Rock and Mojo sounds. Marshall establishes his intent beyond doubt on the ‘Birdy’ album with a potent collection of songs that defines an artist and band in a blazing skyward trajectory.
“You’ve made a great album. It’s not often I listen to clients records back to back these days, but yours is currently on high rotation. I can’t get enough of it”.
(Anthony Lycenco, Aria Nominee, Pete Murry, Xavier Rudd)
“Love that slide playing.” (Chris Scaddan – Triple J)
“That’s the best music I’ve heard in years.” (Bill Chambers)
“Raucous purveyors of roots music with a harder twist”
(Sam Fell, Rhythms mag & Inpress)
