Hilary Marckx & 45-90

Singer/Songwriter/Band Leader/Rhythm Guitarist/Harpist Hilary Marckx --- Born: Pacific Northwest, moved to California when nine. Father was preacher in small, Northern California, cow-country towns and housed in old bunkhouses.  Mother was musician (mandolin), and led songs with it for revivals in Ozarks when father went up there to do his missionary thing. Singer/Songwriter since 1974.

First song learned: Oklahoma Hills when two.

Attitude: wild, crazy, but dead serious about song writing AND he also has some creds as a songwriter, with 175 songs copyrighted and registered with BMI.

Guitarist John McClean - Wild, crazy, over the edge, and just a rock-solid stylist on the guitar.  He's wilder with a motorcycle between his legs, but we're sure likin' his rockabilly/honkytonk licks on his guitar a whole bunch.  John's from Baltimore, Maryland. He's played and recorded with The Blue Jays and The Sonoramic Comandos out of Atlanta, and to our great delight has located right here in NorCal!  Around here he has played with: The Fortunate Few, and the Smokin' J's - acoustic jazz.  45-90 is shootin' full, 90 grain, black powder loads, with John!

Bassist/Keyboardist, Rob Fisher walked into his parents living room when he was three-years old and started to teach himself to play piano.  Now, some forty years later he can play just about any stringed instrument that comes into his hands.  Rob toured for years with the Sacramento-based group, The New Pioneers, and is responsible for producing over twelve vinyls and CDs.  Playing against Hilary's "snare-drum-strum" on the Martin D-28, Rob's bass holds the rhythm solidly in place, and when he swaps off bass with John, his hot-rockin'/HonkyTonkin'/Rock 'N" Rollin' keyboard licks are something to behold.
