MARCI FELDMAN

SINGER

Having been born with stage fright, Marci Feldman endured piano lessons as a child and owning a critical ear, grew up appreciating many musical genres from Gregorian Chant to Bluegrass. Family season tickets to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra provided some musical education, and she enjoyed members of her family in the biz (a symphony orchestra conductor, violinist and an Oboe composer). Marci reports to having no musical training whatsoever, other than playing guitar and singing Joni Mitchell songs to her then young daughters, so as to lull them to sleep. She is delighted to add back up vocals to the DIRK KROLL BAND.

RAY GOODMAN

GUITAR

Ray Goodman is a brilliant guitarist and member of an elite group of musicians who emerged from the Detroit scene in the ‘60’s. Longtime band mate Mitch Ryder called him “One of America’s best guitarists.” While best known for his work with Detroit rockers like Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Cub Coda, and SRC, Ray’s roots are in R&B. He has worked with many favorites through the years, and a standout is recording with Chicago blues guitar legend Luther Allison.

Over a 50 year career, Ray has proven himself to be a consummate professional, always delivering the right licks at the right time; whether it be screaming solos, funky rhythms, or simply laying out. Ray is home on the road, stage and on both sides of the glass in the studio. He has worked as a studio musician and touring guitarist, sound engineer and record producer.

GEORGE CANTERBURY

PIANO

Performing rock, country and blues in night clubs and concert venues since 1973, George Canterbury has been in the studio and in front of audiences along with The Forbes Brothers, Stewart Francke, Al Carmichael and Johnny Powers, to name a few. Currently performing piano and varied keys with the DIRK KROLL BAND, George notes," I met Dirk and Paul Price( DKB's drummer) in the '90's when I had a small studio in Madison Heights, Mich. and both projects were new and interesting! Now with the prodigious talents of Marci Feldman, Ray Goodman and David Uricek, what can go wrong?"

PAUL PRICE

Drums

Paul has played drums for many years, performing with a variety of bands ranging from disco to fusion to alternative to straight ahead jazz. A man with a wide range of musical tastes, he blends all those influences to contribute to new musical experiences.

Always striving for artistic integrity, Paul abides to a favorite James Baldwin quote:

“Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all endurance.”
