Day 276 - Marv Ross - A Series Of Cords and A Wild Dream

Marv Ross is an American musician, best known as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter for the 1980s rock band Quarterflash. With a distinctive style blending rock, jazz, and blues influences, Ross helped craft the band's signature sound. His work on hits like "Harden My Heart" and "Take Me to Heart" showcased his skillful guitar playing and lyrical depth, earning Quarterflash widespread acclaim. Beyond his success with the band, Ross is also recognized for his contributions as a composer and producer in the music industry.

On this episode of Dystopia Tonight, Marv Ross and I dive into a fascinating conversation about his diverse musical career. He shares stories from recording an album at the iconic Jersey Shore, finding inspiration in John Denver, working with renowned producer John Boylan, and recalls touring with major acts like Elton John, Loverboy, Sammy Hagar, Starship, and Night Ranger. We also touch on his experience writing music for Ron Howard’s film Night Shift, and Marv tells a memorable story about Burt Bacharach’s obsession with Pac-Man. Additionally, he opens up about his time at The Record Plant, with stories of Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, Giorgio Moroder, Randy Newman, Fleetwood Mac, and Dolly Parton come rushing back to memory.
