Bio
Marty Balin DVD LIVE ON THE BOSTON ESPLANADE released 11/17/09 on MVD Visual! .. Marty Balin is the founder of The Jefferson Airplane. His voice is the instrument that helped establish the band with the song "Today" in the Monterey Pop film. the FM classic "Volunteers" in the Woodstock movie and "The Other Side Of This Life" in the Maysles Brothers film "Gimme Shelter". Marty and his Jefferson Airplane appeared at the three major rock festivals, Monterey, Woodstock and Altamont. When the Jefferson Starship initially launched the only Top 40 hits they had for the first few years were Marty Balin's renditions of "Miracles", "Count On Me", "Runaway" and "With Your Love." Marty actually practiced a version of "Jane" which would have been entirely different from what was released by Marty's friend, Mickey Thomas of The Elvin Bishop Group, and the new "Jefferson" Starship. ================================================= After leaving Jefferson Starship Marty went on to have solo hits with "Hearts" and "Atlanta Lady on EMI. The Balin and Lucky albums on EMI are classics, as is the Bodacious BF project on RCA and the third EMI disc, Rock Justice, which is also a movie about to be released for the first time on DVD. Watch for an upcoming 2007 tour! This page was created on April 15, 2007. A BIG announcement will be forthcoming in the next week. This update is being written at 2:26 PM on Saturday, April 21. =================================================== Also, we are busy working on a compilation of Marty's best videos now on "You Tube". Marty is going to hand-pick the best videos so if you find some we might not know about, send the links over. We're also working on a boxed set of COVER SONGS of music written by songwriter Marty Balin. If you've got a great cover version we'll be posting an address soon for you to send an instrumental track and a vocal version for our consideration. There's going to be lots of Marty Balin CDs, DVDs, and photographs available soon. Any articles you may have on Marty, Bodacious, The Jefferson Airplane, The Jefferson Starship, the Rock Justice lp and other projects Marty participated in, please send us links or contact us regarding the official archives. We plan on archiving ALL live tapes and video tapes a la The Doors "Bright Midnight" label and the Jimi Hendrix "Dagger Records" imprint.

Marty's work before the Jefferson Airplane - THE TOWN CRIERS from the early 60s ============================================== ..The Town Criers.. =============================================== Title: Live In San Francisco * Artist: Town Criers This new 'Collectors’ Choice Music' exclusive brings you the only recording that has surfaced of the folk group that Marty Balin sung in before the Jefferson Airplane, the Town Criers! Formed in the backroom of the S.F. folk club The Drinking Gourd in the Summer of 1963, The Town Criers (Balin, Bill Collins, Jan Ellickson and Larry Vargo) played the club circuit for a year before breaking up and Balin, no doubt drawing on this experience, subsequently opened his club The Matrix. The rest is history, informatively recounted here by band member Bill Collins along with pictures from his private archives. Includes 'Daddy Roll ’Em; 900 Miles; Virgin Mary; Go Home to the Valley; Hellbound Train; The Lesson; 99 Years to Go', and 'Jubilee'. Marty proves to be quite the raconteur as he introduces each song…a missing chapter in the Airplane saga! Catalog #: WWCCM07472
