Marshall Dane
Country Thurs.,
August 4, 8pm $32
Canada’s latest
breakthrough country
star, Marshall Dane,
is also the hardest
working musician in
town. In 2009
Marshall kicked the
door open when he
won Country 95.3 FMs
Big Break
competition and blew
audiences away with
his infectious live
show opening up for
Emerson Drive.
Marshall took his
country soul mixed
with rock’n’roll
vibe down to
Tennessee and began
writing songs with
Nashville hit makers
Kris Bergsnes, Dan
Murph & Canadian
superstar Paul
Brandt. The result
is his album,
‘Running Stop
Signs’, kicking off
with his first
single ‘Love &
Alcohol’ which
embodies the
reckless swagger yet
humble blue collared
appeal of the artist
himself. Presented
by Meaford Hall.
