MARCI FELDMAN
SINGER
Having been born with stage fright, Marci Feldman endured piano lessons as a child and owning a critical ear, grew up appreciating many musical genres from Gregorian Chant to Bluegrass. Family season tickets to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra provided some musical education, and she enjoyed members of her family in the biz (a symphony orchestra conductor, violinist and an Oboe composer). Marci reports to having no musical training whatsoever, other than playing guitar and singing Joni Mitchell songs to her then young daughters, so as to lull them to sleep. She is delighted to add back up vocals to the DIRK KROLL BAND.
GEORGE CANTERBURY
PIANO
Performing rock, country and blues in night clubs and concert venues since 1973, George Canterbury has been in the studio and in front of audiences along with The Forbes Brothers, Stewart Francke, Al Carmichael and Johnny Powers, to name a few. Currently performing piano and varied keys with the DIRK KROLL BAND, George notes," I met Dirk and Paul Price( DKB's drummer) in the '90's when I had a small studio in Madison Heights, Mich. and both projects were new and interesting! Now with the prodigious talents of Marci Feldman, Ray Goodman and David Uricek, what can go wrong?"
PAUL PRICE
Drums
Paul has played drums for many years, performing with a variety of bands ranging from disco to fusion to alternative to straight ahead jazz. A man with a wide range of musical tastes, he blends all those influences to contribute to new musical experiences.
Always striving for artistic integrity, Paul abides to a favorite James Baldwin quote:
“Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all endurance.”
DAVID ROOF
MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
The DIRK KROLL BAND is honored to have sound/engineer producer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Roof of the Rooftop Recording Studio perform guitar and back-up vocals. A Detroit Music Award recipient for Outstanding Live Sound Technician as well as a University of Michigan alumnus who has classical training, David brings multi-genre flavors from years of performing with symphony orchestras, pop, jazz and Americana. He brings joy
and creativity to the stage.
DAVID URICEK
BASS
David Uricek claims to be “ Nobody’s Bass Player” and that is his way of claiming ownership to the fact that he has actually performed bass guitar with some of the best musicians in town including Bobby Murray, Tosha Owens, Melvin Davis, The Corktown Popes and Johnny Evans. Dave is a self-taught musician with 30-plus years experience performing and teaching in the metro Detroit area as well as working as a recording engineer and repairing guitars. He provides a steady bottom to Dirk Kroll’s material and compliments his compositions with a vast knowledge of arrangements.
