5/19/07 - The Marah DB Trio at the Stone Pony

Marah is playing some summer dates w/ just Dave Bielanko, Kirk Henderson, and Christine Smith playing as a trio. Serge Bielanko is with his family setting up shop in his new home out in Utah. Adam and Dave are touring this summer with their own band Adam and Dave' Bloodline (look for a post on them soon).

Here is the DB Trio playing at the Wave Gathering at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ on May 19. 2007. The video isn't the best, but it gives you a good idea of the great stuff you'll be able to see this summer if you are lucky enough to see them play.

"Boat"



"My Heart is the Bums on the Street"

Stripped Down in Glen Ridge, NJ on 4/28/07

Four members of Marah (Dave, Serge, Kirk, and Christine) played a stripped down show on Saturday night in Glen Ridge, NJ on April 28, 2007. Here are some of the highlights:

"Rain Delay," a classic from the first record.



A great slower version of "Roundeye Blues" and then "Barstool Boys," which is dedicated to Bruce Langfeld, a musician who played on Marah's first few records and recently passed away.



"My Heart is the Bums on the Street"



"Sooner or Later"



Keep checking back. Hopefully, there'll be more to come.
