Formation and early history (2017-2018)

Toby Lee Marshall September 8, 2018

The Koch Marshall Trio formed because of the persistence of drummer Dylan Koch. The band members were all schooled in jazz and blues: the jazz background allows each member to be comfortable with the improvisation which is evident in their live performance.

Greg Koch said their brand of rock and gristle came together when Dylan Koch insisted he meet Toby Lee Marshall one afternoon. The three musicians got together for an impromptu jam session that day. From that first session the members all knew that they had a unique sound and a special connection. "It was glorious," Greg Koch said.[3]

The Koch Marshall Trio is an instrumental group: Greg Koch established the organ/guitar trio in 2017. The Trio includes Greg Koch's son Dylan Koch on drums, Toby Lee Marshall on B3 organ and Greg Koch (musician) on guitar. The Koch Marshall Trio has signed a contract with the Mascot Label Group. They released their debut studio album on February 23, 2018 (Title: Toby Arrives) under the Mascot Label Group[4][5]

The Koch Marshall Trio is working on a second studio album. The Koch Marshall Trio has toured The US extensively in 2018.

The Koch Marshall Trio's debut album Toby Arrives contains songs that, "morph into an amazing new relationship with organ influenced Blues Rock."[6]

The first studio album by the Koch Marshall Trio has received high praise. "‘Toby Arrives’ is the sort of album you could stack alongside a Thelonious Monk record, a Jeff Beck record or a Mike Landau record. If you went for one of the other three and got this by mistake your day wouldn’t be ruined."[7]
