THE

BANDEmilyMarrs

This band’s unique spin on various favorites includes a vast repertoire that is un-precedented, spanning multiple decades and paying tribute to the Godfathers (and mothers) of rock and roll. Take a trip back to the days when Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Stones, Cream and Skynyrd were dominating the music scene. Then into the 80’s when Pat Benatar, The Cars, Blondie and Men At Work were some of radio’s most played artists. Throw in a mix of other more recent and honored rockers like the Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes, and you will feel the rock magic in the depths of your soul.

We bring you a powerhouse of musical expertise with soulful and belty vocals from Emily Marrs, crafted guitar virtuosity by John Brose and Andy Armstrong, and a rhythm section of Kyle Inforzato and Tim Carrington that will leave you utterly breathless, literally. Individually these musicians inspire—collectively they rock. The band plays bars, events, private parties, weddings and ourdoor events.

About the band

Emily’s passion for music started in her child-hood with her mom’s Bee Gees, Beatles, and Prince records and all of the early ’70s tunes played on her parents radio 24–7. She sang her way through school choirs and 12 years of piano lessons and in college met the musical mentors who would change her life. From there she joined forces singing lead and backup for some of Boulder Colorado’s finest folk and rock musicians, playing gigs in Boulder, Denver and various mountain towns. Upon returning to Minneapolis in 2000, she found additional roles with Bluesman Tom

Emily Marrs LEAD VOCALS, KEYBOARD

Hunter, Funk/Jazz player John Starkey and Gina Frances of Orange Whip. With an invitation from Brose in 2004, she began singing lead for The Emily Marrs Band, per-forming her favorite genre of music, classic rock. Emily’s vocal prowess yields soulful and gritty dynamics, often resembling the likes of female rock legends like Chrissie Hynde, Janis Joplin and Susan Tedeschi. Her influences also include Robert Plant, Re-becca Folsom, Pamela McNeill, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, and Dave Grohl.

John BroseRHYTHM GUITAR

Andy picked up the guitar at the young age of 10 years old and found where his dreams lay. He knew right then and there he was destined for rock and roll. Mr. Armstrong con-tinued to pursue his musical passion as often as his family and working life allowed, getting involved in various rock bands along the way. At last, returning to the rock scene after a brief hiatus, Andy has determined once again to master his instrument and give us some good ol’ classic rock. He brings his own unique style to his guitar playing, including powerful riffs where he pours himself into ev-ery note and does so with lightening speed. His influences include legends such as Allen Collins from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Mark Knop-fler from Dire Straits among others. You may even see his beloved daughter sit in with the band from time to time!

Andy ArmstrongLEAD RUITAR, VOCALS

John Brose has been a fan of the music world as long as he can remember, not only of rock gods like Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, Stephen Stills and John Lennon, but a staunch supporter of old school Minneapolis talent such as The Phones, The Flaming Oh’s and Curtis A.; the latter in fact who John sat in with at the beginning of his musical career. John’s dedication to his instrumentation is admirable and one to be respected. Having taken up the guitar later in life, Brose imme-diately demonstrated his natural affinity for the instrument and devoted application of learned theory to this great love of his. These unique qualities have helped shape his savvy licks and foundational rhythmic chording for the band. The original founder of our group, Dr. Brose is also a prominent psychologist and lecturer in the community, avid sailboat racer, owns horses, loves time in Florida, and of course, being a rock star in his free time!

Meet the rockers

One-half of our rock-solid rhythm section, Kyle lays down bass lines from the fat and funky to the frenetic and furious. He’s a long time member of Northern Minnesota rock legends Centerville All Stars. In addition, Kyle spent a few years on the jazz scene with ac-claimed unit Stash as well as other outstand-ing jazz artists. He also happens to make the best Italian spaghetti in the universe.

Tim’s dad played guitar in a band and he grew up listening to music everyday. His early influences were Elvis Presley, Motown and Doo-Wop. Tim got his first drum set at the tender age of 6 and never stopped play-ing. He drove his parents nuts most times, but he continued playing. When he came home from school everyday, he jumped on the drums and forgot about everything else. He and his friends started a band in the basement at the age of 9 and he knew right then and there he would never put the sticks down. At 14, he played out for the first time and never stopped giving audiences the best of what he had. Tim went on to play with bands such as; Lifestyles, Susie and the Stud Muffins, The Law Band, 28IF, The Deep Fried Tweeters, and numerous other bands. Tim continues to have a love for music such as; Steely Dan, Dream Theater, Incognito and much more.
