About this act
Named after two of the great rock bluesmen, Jimi Marshall Hendrix and Johnny Dawson Winter, and it turned out to be fitting. Marshall Okell has released five studio albums, toured Australia and the world relentlessly and won a stack of awards. His band Marshall and the Fro have been Bluesfest regulars since winning the festival's busking competition in 2007. Byron Bay based. A career built on stages rather than in studios.
