He has also performed across Europe, appearing at festivals and venues in Austria, Portugal, and France.
L.R. Marsh's sound is a signature blend of gritty slide guitar, upbeat blues grooves, and the riff-driven power of classic rock and desert/stoner rock, influenced by legends like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and RL Burnside, alongside rock icons such as AC/DC, The Black Keys, Rage Against the Machine, and Queens of the Stone Age. What sets L.R. apart is his ability to create an electrifying full-band sound, performing live as a one-man act. With a home-built setup of foot-operated drums and percussion pedals, and his dynamic guitar playing, L.R. delivers an unforgettable live experience – raw, real, and completely without the aid of any loop pedals or backing tracks.
In addition to his festival highlights, L.R. has shared the stage with notable acts like Wolfmother, Nick Oliveri (of Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, and Mondo Generator) (USA), Ross Wilson, Ash Grunwald, Tex Perkins, Kevin Borich, Truckfighters (SWE), Radio Moscow (USA), 1000mods (GRE), Jeff Martin (of The Tea Party) (CA), and more. His career has also led him to record in Ashland, Oregon USA with legendary producer Sylvia Massy(Johnny Cash, Prince, System of a Down, Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers). His studio album “Inside Outlines”, recorded in Brisbane, Queensland, garnered national and international recognition, with the single “Devil & The Black Dog” reaching number 9 on the AMRAP national charts in its first week.
L.R.'s music resonates with a wide range of listeners, from fans of traditional blues to those who crave the heavier side of rock. His versatile catalog also includes acoustic folk and blues songs, offering a more intimate, soulful side to his music.
Now living on the road full-time, L.R. continues to reach fans far and wide across Australia and has plans for a new album and international touring in 2025/2026. Whether on stage in a packed venue or in a small intimate setting, L.R. Marsh’s live shows are a testament to the power of passion, creativity, and the timeless energy of blues and rock.
