Would love to see you again

Dear Frank, growing up down the street fro the Marino's was enterntaining to say the least. I remember you when you couldn't even play guitar, coming to sit in on our practices with Norman. You learn't so quickly, and I remember one magic moment vividly when all your equipment was in my basement, and you would come over to play. I sat and played with you, and you were playing all these jazz chords that had nothing to do with your usual style, but they flew off your fingers like fire. When I think back to those days, and see where music has taken you, and where you have taken it, it's all incredible. I will always rember you playing with Rick Shapiro on drums and Steve Redston on bass....your first band I guess..
Congatulations on an amazing life with music. Hope we hook up one day soon,
best regards, John Eaves

Have always dug your balls out blues style ....would love to jamn sometime....

Happy Birthday Frank! You have been my favorite for over 30 years and have provided lots of inspiration over the years. So glad when you started touring again. I've been to cleveland 3-4 times over the past 9 or 10 years. Even lured some "Frank virgins" to the gigs and they were amazed. The odeon, house of blues, great shows. Even better when we didn't have to make the long drive to cleveland and could see you in the pittsburgh area. Saw you at the rex theater, moondogs, and most recently at dingbats. AWESOME! Brought a first-timer to dingbats, now he's ready for the agora. So am I. We'll see you there. Tim.

Happy Birthday Frank! You've been my number one for over thirty years. First saw you in the 70's. Have driven to cleveland 3-4 times over the past 9 or 10 years. the odeon, house of blues. it was great when you made it to the pittsburgh area and we didn't have to drive 2 hours. saw you at the rex, moondogs, and most recently at dingbats. awesome! looking forward to the agora and another chance to shake your hand. you have given me alot of inspiration over the years. God Bless! tim.

I am 51 years old and also grew up during the 60s and 70s. I have been hooked on your music since my brother gave me a cassette of Tales of The Unexpected when it first came out, I have been looking for your cds for a long time, now that I have found them I am buying several of them. my 17 year old son plays guitar, quite well I mite add! he likes all of the old bands that I do and Hendrix is one of his favorites. I told him about your music and he can't wait to hear it!

a fan for life

Have been a huge fan since my high school days back in the 70's. Thanks to Douglas Reed for turning me on to Mahogany Rush. Land of 100 Nights is one of the hardest rock songs I have ever heard and I think it's great. The jazz flavor on Moonlight Lady is really cool, and Dear Music is really raw.
Thanks for making the music you do, keep rockin'.

seen you in foxboro, already got my tickets for the corona theatre in montreal. working on cleveland next.

frank marino, my all time favorite. love all the music. cheers

Dear Frank Marino,

when will you come to Germany on tour????????
A lot of real fans expected you here - URGENTLY!!!!! Please!!!!

greetings from Munich

Late to discover you, but if you come within any radius of me I will be the 1st to buy front row seats....unreal guitar, unreal voice, true blues-you are a true original. I will be watching for ANY shows on the West Coast. Your newest fan, M

Just saw Frank in Alexandria, Va for the first time since Saint Anthony's Day at the Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, NY in the late 70's. He amazed me that he still plays so well. Ranked with Jeff Beck of the 3 Yardbyrd guitarists, John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola all legends still presently playing with the power and dedication that made them legends in the first place. Frank my sincere respect for allowing me to re-live my past and create a new one for the future. Also my hat goes off to you for keeping yourself in very good shape. While watching you in Alexandria, sober I will add, I went back to that Night at the Auditorium Theatre in the late 70's experiencing my first real trip watching trails flail(if that's a real word)from your guitar and fingers alternating my vision upwards to the angular artistry that beheld the corners on both sides of that massive arch which enshrined the stage. When things got real heavy in those theatre corners I would bring my attention back to the stage. I remembered my friend telling me during Strange Universe that "This should be The World Anthem!" and me nodding in total agreement. That theatre thundered and vibrated from Mahogany Rush and I never forgot it. I am an artist currently selling my work at various tours and festivals throughout the States. When I was getting that signiture on the bus in Alexandria I hadn't been home since June 4th. I've currently been doing this for the last 23 years. I've seen tons of music since June and a vast array of musicians and bands. The November 2nd Mahogany Rush show was my favorite this summer/fall season. I hope you will consider doing festivals in the states. All Good in Masontown W.V., Moedown in Herkimer, N.Y., Summer Camp in IL., WANEE in Live Oak, FL. which is an Allman Brothers event which this past spring hosted the Allmans, Widespread Panic(containing Jimmy Herring who is playing Nov. 20 - 21 w/John McLaughlin, Return to Forever's Lenny White among others at the Lincoln Theatre in Raliegh NC), Johnny Winter, Hot Tuna and more. These festivals draw anywhere up to 20,000 or more people. Alot of young people who are open to all kinds of music attend these festivals and it would be a great opportunity to share your music , gain exposure and regenerate your fan base. I've been traveling around for years with cassettes containing your music I had recorded from the many Mahogany Rush LP's I've purchased over the years. And though I listed World Anthem as my favorite LP(because of the flow of the Requiem side), The Bird Has Flown into Tales of The Unexpected is a favorite listen along with Strange Universe (off course) and The Emperor IV. There's alot of stuff on Eye Of The Storm(some reminisant of Ozric Tentacle's "The Throbbe"), that I'm just starting to get familiar with that could definately gain favorite status. I didn't know if I'd like the restructuring during Strange Universe but I think I actually like what I heard in Alexandria better.

Again, thanks for playing. The band was amazing! Long Live Mahogany Rush!

Hell Yeah!! Man, I am stoked about the upcoming show/s at the Agora Theater in Ohio! I was very fortunate to see Mahogany Rush at the Rex, Sellersville, and in Maryland - three times over the last several years. was even more fortunate to meet Frank and his great band. These guys are tops! -So down to Earth. I'm gonna get some buds to come out there with me to Ohio and rock out to the upcoming video shoot; I've been wishing for a live Mahogany Rush DVD for years! -peace

Frank,
51 years old, heard of you from many years ago, but wasn't familiar at all with your music. Went to see you at Sellersville Theater with a couple of friends on Saturday. Didn't really know what to expect, but was thoroughly impressed and had a great time... Keep on Rocking!

Hi Frank,

My brother and I took our brides to see you last Saturday at the Sellersville Theatre. What an awesome show!!

Usually I go up to the stage before the show to check out the guitarist's pedalboard to gain insight at their tone. Unfortunately, dinner next door ran late and we arrived at our seats just before you went on. I could see you played through a Plexi, but what were you using for delay and echo?

Saw Frank 11/06/2010 at Sellersville PA. Great show
