Andrew Bryant rolls into The Marinade. Bryant is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

His music first entered our consciousness through his band Water Liars with Justin Peter Kinkel Schuster. Their most recent record Roll On was released in 2020, the same year that Bryant released his solo record Sentimental Noises. Both records were among our favorites of that most auspicious year.

His most recent outstanding record is called A Meaningful Connection.

Daryl Hance saunters into The Marinade. Daryl is a singer, songwriter, and guitar player whose music means SO much to me. He has a distinct way of playing guitar that I adore. Just a couple of licks and I can instantly recognize a Daryl Hance tune. Describing his music is a next to impossible task. It feels like the soundtrack to my life- swampy, bluesy, funky, sexy, soulful stuff. I am honored to bring this one to you.
