QUOTES

JOSHUA VAN TASSEL

> Saw a great band called the Roger Marin band who are from the Niagra region of
> all places, apparently I need to go out west to take my head out of my ass and
> hear good Ontario music.

YUKON NEWS

> Eternally scruffy, (his 8x10 literally looks like John Dillinger's death
> photograph), country singer Roger Marin looks the part of the mechanics and
> modern cowboys he eulogizes. Marin's backup band, on the other hand, looks
> like he stole them from the mosh-pit of a Gwar concert.

PHOG LOUNGE BLOG

> Roger Marin gave us the countriest rock and roll I've ever seen.

JORDAN NUNZIATO, WELLAND TRIBUNE

> Oh, the good ol' days of country music. When Johnny Cash would make you walk
> the line, Elvis Presley would break your heart and Carl Perkins would sing
> about them blue suede shoes. If one were to envision today's Cash, Presley or
> Perkins then Roger Marin brings it home.

HAYES CARLL'S ROAD JOURNAL

> On Friday I played a place called P.K.'s with Roger Marin... We did two sets
> and I think it was the first time I've ever had people sitting on the floor in
> a bar to see the show.

RICHARD AMERY, LA BEAT

> Roger Marin Jr has come into his own as a really talented and appealing
> singer-songwriter. Marin, who toured with Fred Eaglesmith for many years, has
> released his latest fantastic, almost more mainstream CD, "Silvertown." Rather
> it would be mainstream in country radio played authentic country rock music
> rather than pop music with steel guitars.

ROGER MARIN, TORONTO STAR

> What I learned was that you only find satisfaction in music by doing it your
> own way. Right or wrong, you should do it the way you feel it. Don't rush,
> just work hard and do it right.

GREG QUILL, TORONTO STAR

> As if his professional life weren't complicated enough, (Roger) has taken on
> the unenviable burdens of a festival promoter and artistic director, bringing
> together artists from across Canada and the U.S. - "Songwriters I've seen on
> the road or worked with and admired" - for a three-day event "

SPENCER BROWN, BEAT ROUTE

> Roger Marin isn't so much the kind of songwriter who's heard as much as felt.
> With his combination of honest lyrics and rough-and-tumble life experience,
> Marin aims for the heart and hits it every time.

SASKATOON STAR PHOENIX

> When your father's a roaming country artist, it's hard not to become a
> lifelong music student. That's just what Roger Marin is.

REDEYE USA

> ..and Roger Marin flooring them with his acoustic solos.

JOHNNY BLACK TRIO BLOG

> Adam Carroll and Roger Marin play the middle of nowhere. For some inexplicable
> reason Texas singer songwriter Adam Carroll (of Blondie and Dagwood fame)
> played PK's, a tiny hole-in-the-wall Irish pub in Bellows Falls, VT with
> Ontario musician Roger Marin (formerly of Fred Eaglesmith's band) on Sunday.
> They did a small tour of Canada and god knows why but they drove 18 hours to
> play a room with a capacity of 30 max and literally passed the hat for gas
> money. Plus they blew a tire on the way in.
> 
> They went on a little after 5 and alternated songs for two sets, stunningly
> good stuff (I was already a Carroll fan) including the co-written Whiskey Take
> Me Off the Shelf which Willie Nelson had them write for him.
> 
> Aside from that and a late appearance by the town crazy lady who would not
> SHUT THE F**K UP it was a pretty magical night, two world-class songwriters
> playing in an as out-of-the-way venue as you're ever going to find. Or not.
> 
> Imagine if John Prine and Steve Earle pulled up to your local pub in a beat-up
> Ford Escort and then traded tunes back and forth for a couple of hours. It was
> that kind of an evening.

GILLIANGATES.COM

> The young man is a modern day traveling minstrel. He is the epitome of roots
> music because he gets to the soul of the matter: a song that everyone relates
> to because he's tapping into the human condition. He charms his audience by
> singing about Texas moons, road trips....

CHARLIE HUNTER FLYING UNDER RADAR ROOTS ON THE RAILS/RIVER

> "Roger Marin is a constantly-evolving, highly entertaining and increasingly
> powerful songwriter and performer.
> 
> We first heard Roger accompanying Fred Eaglesmith on lead and steel guitar,
> and it has been a joy to get to know him and his music, first under Fred's
> tutelage and now as he steps out on his own.
> 
> It's always a privilege and a joy to have Roger be part of Roots on the River,
> and we hope he is a part of it for years to come."
