Dion Marlow
|
Dion was raised on Rock’n’Roll, growing up in a musical household shaped by his father, Kev Marlow, who has been performing on the scene for over 35 years. Inspired at the age of six after seeing The Jets live on stage, Dion picked up the double bass — and he hasn’t looked back since taking influence from fellow double bass players such as Jimmy Sutton, Bob Cotton, Jarrod Coombes and Martyn Savage. As a result of the influences, hard work and practice, he has been able to perform 600+ shows across the UK & Europe.
Over the years, Dion has shared the stage with leading names in the scene, including The Jive Aces, Marco Di Maggio, The Keytones, The Jets, and Wildfire Willie, as well as members of Ray Collins’ Hot Club, Boogie Banausen. He’s also enjoyed memorable jams with the likes of Darrel Higham, Laurie London, The Stargazers, Phil Haley & His Comments and The Spunyboys. Beyond Rockin'em, Dion has appeared in trailers for the national theatre production 'Lipstick On Your Collar'. |
In addition to his enthusiasm for music, Dion plays a vital role in managing the band's bookings and logistics and work as the band's sound engineer, with his passion for both in live and studio sound
To date Dion has performed sound duties for The Jive Aces, Ray Gelato & The Giants, Restless and Laura B and Her Band and even assisted with sound at the world famous Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London. Dion's musical talent extends to the Guitar, Drums, and Piano, which make an appearance on the recordings by Rockin'em. Dion is endorsed by K&K Pickups |
