Re: CD Release Party -
"The 'RocnDocs' was alive with homegrown pop rock tunes.
Danes loyal fan base was there to soak it all in and rock all night long. Dane is a full time musician with a burning passion for his career.

Intensity, passion and charm; the singer/songwriter has developed a unique sound and style of his own.

Toronto Independent Music Awards (TIMA) Review
October 9th, 2007
>Article by Charlene Cieslik
MARSHALL DANE:
At first you might look at this guy and think he looks like Nickelback. But that shouldn’t dissuade you. They don’t sound like Nickelback. And though they didn’t win Best Live Electric, they rocked the TIMAs with a guitar-laden and bongo-riddled tune called “Mama.”
It was the first song of the night that people got up and danced for. Or, at least clapped their hands and nodded their head. They bring an amazing 7 members to the stage and put out a truly rocking effort to entertain the crowd.
“Mama” was a long and varied rendition, and I think one of the few uses of bongos at the TIMAs. When I hear “indie” I tend to mostly think alternative, but what these guys do with guitars and drums is good old classic rockin’.

Bio
Marshall Dane
Marshall Dane is poised to become one of the next big Canadian country stars. Born in St. Catharines, Ontario, he was raised the son of a preacher man and a god-fearing woman and fuelled by the influence of Sunday family jamborees and the musical impact of Cat Stevens and Kenny Rogers.
Performing since he was 15 years old, Marshall was already gaining fans with his own soulful blend of roots and rock music. Later he moved to Toronto and began making his mark as an accomplished singer/songwriter and as word caught on of his dynamic vocal abilities, Marshall started earning radio play and commercial work and built ongoing demand for over 300 shows annually.
In 2008, Marshalls relentless drive won him the acclaimed Best Live Electric Band at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. Less than a year later in June 2009, Marshall entered the Country 95.3 FM Big Break competition with the largest market country radio station in Canada. Among over 65 entries, Marshall emerged victorious and won the contest and the opening slot for Jason Blaine and Emerson Drive at the Canada Day Jam in Woodbine Park.
These recent affirmations confirm what many have known for several years that Marshall Dane is a world class talent who garners alot of attention with his unmistakable talent, unique sound and charismatic live performances.
Recently Marshall has been co-writing with Nashvilles Music Row songwriters like Jason Matthews and Willie Mack as well as Canadian country superstar Paul Brandt in preparation for his highly anticipated debut country release due out in February 2010.
With the support of Country 95.3 FM already playing his single This Rain and his rapidly growing fan base on CMT, he is sure to become one of our countrys national treasures.
