LARGE MARVIN, the band, was originally formed in 2001 and made its debut appearance at the Croatian Club in Riverside area of Buffalo, NY. Founding Member Gene Fahey brought in Joe O'Donnell to anchor the core sound of the band. The band has gone through a few transformations since the beginning and rejuvenated itself to hit the local music scene hard in 2009. The current lineup features a powerful array of Buffalo musicians. The band is still headed by singer/songwriter Joe O’Donnell on Vocals, Guitar & Harp. The supporting cast features: Mike Williams, Lead Guitar & Jim Meyers, Bass Guitar. On occasion, when available, legendary saxophone player Terrance Bruce joins the band on stage. Terrance is a very well known innovative contemporary jazz performer. He became popular in the 1980's with the famous jazz fusion group Cabo Frio (MCA Records). He is currently with playing with Tom Schuman and Chet Catallo [current & former members of Spyro Gyra]. LARGE MARVIN continues to play numerous nightclubs, bars, festivals, fundraisers and private parties in the Buffalo, NY area and always prides itself on being available to support a worthy cause. The band features classic rock favorites peppered with a few original tunes.
