Windham, New York, USA, March 22, 2010 – Meeting in Jimi Hendirx’s office in Manhattan, Emmaretta Marks was asked to be his lead singer in a band Hendrix was to front, and George Leary was to audition for the role of the drummer. After the meeting, the pair lived in Hendrix’s house while he was on the road where they cultivated their own unique form of Rock inspired dance music.
The album incorporates elements of Woodstock era Rock and dance music heavily inspired by the work and legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Celebrating the works of Hendirx, the album offers a connection between life and death and trancends Woodstock era genres. With catchy dance music with a nostalgic feel, Marks And Leary share elements of Jimi Hendrix’s influence and a spiritual message.
"Jimi died, and our album makes a connection between life and death. The guitar work is an example of Jimi’s style," they said.
Taking time off of recording to promote their music, Marks And Leary hope to reach individuals on a spiritual level with their album and arrange some live perfomrances. The Artists are currently trying to set up performances with Hendrix’s former bass player Billy Cox. "Rocking Rhythm and Soul Woodstock Dance Night Band" was recorded on Marks’ label Mambo Daddy Disk and is currently available on CD Baby.
