Acoustic Blues, Folk & Rock
Marty McDermott was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up in Bayside, Queens in a middle-class/working- class neighborhood that was filled with the textures, sounds and sights of the sixties USA. He became interested in music at an early age and learned piano, but he picked up a guitar in his teenage years and was quickly seduced by rock ‘n roll. He played in several bands through high school and afterward, then took a long break for family and career commitments. He was back on the music scene in upstate NY by the late 1990s. Marty currently leads the Albany-based party/variety band The Reverberators, plays in the Americana band Far North, and performs as a solo artist and in various duos throughout the Capital District/Hudson Valley region.
