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 Marshall on Hammond Organ and Greg Koch 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[3][4]

The three musicians first met at a studio that had a B3 organ. At that very first meeting Dylan Koch, Greg Koch and Toby Lee Marshall played a shuffle in the key of G. Those very first notes they ever played together ended up being the title track to this release, Toby Arrives. "Indeed a shuffle in G, totally unrehearsed, it brings the album to life straight out of the gate."[5]

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

Personal life

Toby Lee Marshall is married and has two children.
