DANNY MARKS

Danny Marks is a Toronto-born musician and broadcaster with a lifelong passion for music. Starting guitar at 11, he immersed himself in the local scene, eventually co-founding Edward Bear, which opened for legends like Led Zeppelin, The Byrds, and Humble Pie. Marks has collaborated with icons like Rick James, Bo Diddley, and Rita Coolidge, and hosted radio shows including CBC Radio’s Hum Line and JAZZ FM91’s BLUZ FM (since 1997). His critically acclaimed albums include Guitarchaeology (1996), Big Town Boy (2004), A Friend in the Blues (2007), and Cities in Blues (2013), earning awards in Canada and Europe. A “Blues with a Feeling” lifetime achievement award recipient (2006), Marks continues to perform and record, celebrating blues legacy. Recent singles “Man on the Radio” and “I’m Ready” showcase his artistic evolution. His new release, “One Way Ticket Home b/w Please Mister Conductor,” is a two-sided smash. With his guitar work and engaging personality, Marks remains a significant figure in Canadian music.
