MARSALIS is a four piece band from Seattle/Vancouver. MARSALIS just released a self-titled EP in May 2016 with an album release show at The Roxy in Vancouver BC.

With a rock/pop/and soul sound, Northwest Music Scene says "Their 2016 self-titled MARSALIS EP is required listening for anyone into locally-grown alternative rock with a strong hooky sensibility."

Northwest Music Scene goes on to say... "Songs off this EP like “Feel Something” and “Where I Am” have strong memorable choruses to them, but are backed up with substantive instrumentation and lyrical content. The vocals brought by singer Dennis Zender are the icing on top of the cake, giving these songs the extra punch that they need to be put over the top and really stick in your head. His vocals soar over these songs incredibly well, and are mixed really well into the songs as to give them a lot of breathing room."

Andrew Fickes of Northwest Indie Music says "MARSALIS has a knack for building arrangements that are multi-layered and emotionally rich. Zender’s vocals meld well with the stadium-sized power chords—a singular and distinct instrument—enrapturing listeners and undeniable in its arresting ability to provoke reflection."
