The Marwills

THE MARWILLS
The Marwills came together in 2006 in Gibsons, BC. Jesse, James, and Graeme met in their small-town high-school and had
been jamming for years without a vocalist. Brett moved from Alberta and the band tracked him down.
Things clicked and the rehearsing became regular.
After a successful first performance the band began booking gigs at local restaurants and bars, including a New
Year's Eve masquerade ball at the local oyster house.
The band parted ways after only a year, with James and Graeme heading to the frozen wastes of
Edmonton to get music diplomas, and Brett and Jesse hightailing it to Mexico
in a VW van.
After dumping their beater in the desert, Brett and Jesse followed
their rock compasses north to Edmonton, where the band secured a new hard-partying bass player
and a monthly gig at Double D's Bar and Grill. This led to further gigs at Sly's Pig Roast in Onoway and
the Longest Day Festival in Blackfalds, both large gatherings of Albertan bikers.
The band uprooted from Edmonton as James and Graeme headed East to Toronto to turn their diplomas into degrees.
Seeing no further use of the blasted prairies, Brett and Jesse followed. With a house in North York all to
itself and an ever-strengthening passion for rock and roll, the band is on its way to becoming established
on the scene here in Toronto.
