Musician and songwriter Marvin Etzioni brings his passion for music and his own artistic sensibilities to all of his production working with singer/songwriters who create organic, roots-oriented music.
A 20-year veteran of the music business, Etzioni has worked on a variety if projects. His solo projects produced as simply Marvin (albums included The Mandolin Man, Bone and Weapons of the Spirit) and produced and collaborated on songs with other singer/songwriters, including Victoria Williams, former Lone Justice singer Maria McKee, Voice of the Beehive and Susanna Hoffs (whose sessions remain unreleased). He has also co-produced the Williams Brothers album Harmony Hotel, produced the song "Miller's Angels" for Counting Crows, the album Pale and the song "Brother" for Toad the Wet Sprocket, and Tom Freund's debut record, North American Long Weekend. Etzioni also has a new solo albums in the works due out soon.
Throughout his career, the song has always been most important to Etzioni. While so many major labels seem to put out homogenous pop, actually striving to make records that sound alike, Etzioni stands out as a producer who cares about maintaining artists' integrity and creative control.
Sorry I missed you when I was out WEST...Keep me posted on what you are up to & I will do the same. I put a band together down here called "CARD SOUND ROAD". Should be playing out soon..
Dear Marvin, Please check out the video I just put up on my myspace page. I was thinking of you when I found it. Also come over to my place sometime and let's do a hang in my studio. All the best - Matt Malley
I want to duet with you whenever I hear this song! It is a beauty, really dig your voice on it... I should be back in L.A., permanently in springtime - we will have to work on some music.
It was so great to see you passionately strummin' onstage with Lucinda! She was right when she said, "You rock out on that mandolin!"
I really dig your song on your profile. If you get a chance, check out my song, "No Place Called Home." It's not released yet either. I just recorded it at home for the Save Darfur project. Best, Mobetta Loretta
Great to meet you and hang out last week at Emmylou's show. Thanks for all that b'day love. And HELLO -- your song that's posted is absolutely gorgeous and haunting!! Can't wait to hear the whole album. xoxo, Mel :-)
Wow Marvin. Man Without a County is stunning. I hope you take it as a compliment when I tell you I hear Johnny Cash in that track. Let's Baracoa sometime. xo a
I can't say enough what a pleasure it was to collaborate with you. Please, please, please keep me posted on all things Marvin Country. Oh, and my cat sends her most sincere apologies. She did not know you were allergic.
