Koch-Marshall Trio

The guitarists all know Greg Koch; the Milwaukee native is renowned both as an incendiary player in many genres and as an author of instructional manuals (and literally thousands of YouTube videos). His latest musical endeavor is an instrumental trio with his son, Dylan, on drums, and Hammond B3 player Toby Lee Marshall. The Edgewater’s Feed the Blues Fest also includes sets by veteran Missouri blues-rock trio The Bel Airs and local stalwarts Madtown Mannish Boys.

press release: Celebrating the Best of the Blues and the food inspired by the Music

 Join us at The Edgewater for our inaugural Labor Day Weekend: Feed the Blues Festival celebrating the best in blues music and the food it inspires. The celebration begins with local favorite Madtown Mannish Boys, playing music steeped in Chicago-style Blues. Next up, hailing from Columbus, Missouri, the Bel Airs, fronted by brothers Dick and Dave Pruitt on bass and electric guitars, with Michael Cherry on drums, playing a danceable mix with an authentic but eclectic bluesy-country-soul-and-rock-n-roll sound influenced by the likes of Wilson Pickett, Slim Harpo, Howlin’ Wolf and Johnny Cash. Headlining the event is the Koch Marshall Trio featuring American guitarist Greg Koch, his son Dylan Koch on drums and Hammond B3 specialist Toby Lee Marshall. At the heart of this organ trio is a blues sensibility – but Koch’s compositions are an amalgam of rock, funk, jazz and country served up with heavy grooves and dynamic improvisations delivered with no small dose of humor and occasional wild abandon. Complimenting this powerful music lineup is a food and beverage offering paying tribute to the birthplace of blues music.
