MARINO
BIO
After moving south to London at age 17, he started gigging in pubs and clubs, eventually landing at the famous Marquee Club. He was a favourite of the Marquee, not only headlining regularly, but opening for acts like Thin Lizzy and ZZ Top and blues legends Stevie Ray Vaughn and Johnny Winter.
Encouraged by his friendship and recording sessions with celebrated guitarist, and hometown mate, Mick Ronson (David Bowie, Bob Dylan), Marino began recording albums for BMG/FM Records, having both sales and chart success in Europe, South Africa and Asia. While still in England, he realised a lifelong dream and was invited to play at the Royal Albert Hall with longtime friend and mentor Carlos Santana.
