Dooner’s World - Marlon Hoffman – Episode 31

Topics: 

1.     Growing up St Louis, MS 

2.     The Coolest Jimmy Page story ever!! Marlon met a young Jimmy Page on the beach in Miami, befriended him to the point that Jimmy setup a folding chair on the stage, right neo his amp for 2 shows!!  A few years later, Marlon showed up at a Lez Zep show backstage saying that he knew Jimmy.  A loaded, bearded Jimmy came out and didn’t recognize him – broke poor Marlon’s heart but it didn’t kill his spirit!! He rocked on!!! 

3.     Meeting George Harrison 

4.     Ride Captain Ride writer – Mike Penata 

5.

Marlon Hoffman offers an amazing musical journey with his rock 'n' roll stylings! Raised on Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Patti Page, Harry Belafonte, Burl Ives, and Fess Parker he formed his first band as a drummer by the age of ten. Other influences included The Four Seasons, Leonard Bernstein, The Beach Boys, Chubby Checker, and The Beatles.

Marlon's mother was very musical and her father "Grandpa Dave" and his wife were both musicians. The family was always singing songs around the piano.

"I fell in love with Gene Autrey and Roy Rodgers and then Elvis Presley. My mother was always playing Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald," he says. "We watched the 'Lawrence Welk Show' and “Sing along with Mitch'. There was always music in my home."

At twelve years old Marlon was playing tunes by the Yardbirds and the Kinks. He even met Jimmy Page and carried his guitar for a Yardbird gig! He also loves James Brown, Sly, Aretha, The Staple Singers, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and all the rest.

Marlon has had many successful bands throughout the years but for his current incarnation, he believed in leaving it up to a Higher Power.

"I said to myself, 'I'm just gonna sit here and play my guitar and sing my songs until something happens.' I've been all over this country, played on the streets, lived in my van with an electric guitar and a little amp. Now I have a home, a number of guitars and a little studio and I said 'I'm just going to keep playing until the right folks arrive.' And it happens!'" My current lineup is John O’kennedy and Jody Daley on guitars, Jon Poli and Martin Flores on Percussion, John Harjo on Keys. Rounding all this out is Jessica Garcia and ˚Kimzey Mcgrath on vocals. It’s a great family.

After playing House of Blues and the Mint. Marlon played the Canyon Club opening for The Guess Who and for for Johnny Rivers. Now he headlines there. Most recently, he has hooked up with “Alert the Globe” at the Coach House Concert Hall in San Juan Capistrano.
