Virtuosic Blues Man? Sensitive Singer Songwriter? Raucous Piano pounder? Just who is Marky Dawson? In a world too often concerned with pigeon holes, he is proud to be all three.
At 18, he started working as a resident musician in bars and clubs. It’s here he developed his Boogie/Rock n Roll style piano playing along with his ability to interact with an audience. Taking requests and heckles whilst expanding his repertoire. Mixing his versions of classics with his own catchy songs. In 2024 he released his first full album ‘Bad Idea’ Which featured some of the best musicians on the London Jazz Scene. Showcasing both his signature heart racing Rock n Roll sound alongside heartfelt ballads. It truly shows his versatility. Marky delivers the intimacy of a Jazz Club, The energy of a stadium performance, and the fun of the pub. Remarkyble. Derek has been a member of the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra since 2004, has led Sax Appeal for over thirty years, fronts the funk/fusion band Protect the Beat, and is a member of the Ronnie Scott’s Blues Explosion. He is renowned for his energetic, vibrant, passionate and charismatic performances on all four saxophones – from sonorous baritone to soaring soprano.
