Marathon Chubb
My name is Marathon Chubb. I play blues, mostly acoustic or resonator driven. After playing guitar for the past 16 years off and on, I decided to put down the electrics and return to the roots.
I am fairly new to bottleneck slide playing, but play slide now 90% of the time, mostly in Delta blues style.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I play guitar... mostly blues and sing, well, attempt to sing...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nope, just studio stuff for now.
