Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar07/16/23 • 23 min
It is a pleasure to welcome the Marshall Law Band to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
The Marshall Law Band is a hip-hop, rock, and funk music collective formed in 2017 by rapper Marshall Hugh and saxophonist Marty Thordarson, who were college roommates. The group includes bassist Evan Robertson, drummer Matt McAlman, guitarist Josh Richins, and keyboardist Zach Olsen. Driven by their shared passion for effective positive change and addressing social justice issues, the band wholeheartedly joined the local Seattle protests following the tragic death of George Floyd in 2021. After a week of powerful performances at the demonstrations, they channeled their experiences into heartfelt songs, eventually becoming their debut album, 12th and Pine—music veteran Jack Endino, who worked with legendary music acts including Nirvana and Soundgarden.
Since then, the Marshall Law Band embarked on two successful European tours and garnered attention from prominent media outlets, including BBC News, CNN, and The Seattle Times. The band also founded Fremont Fridays. Established in 2021, Fremont Fridays is a summer-day festival that serves as a gathering place for the community and celebrates local talent and business owners.
In this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, the Marshall Law Band shared the stories behind some of the most streamed Spotify songs, including “Get Better,” “BLM,” and “Head Nod.” They also spoke about the evolution of Fremont Fridays.
