To support his original pursuite, he secured original and cover shows weekly around Toronto & the GTA where he's still widely known and loved for his captivating vocals and energizing interpretation of every song he plays. Admist a demanding schedule of live shows, Marshall continued to search for the right avenue to record new music.

Along came Brian Allen, Producer (Heart, Haywire, Lee Aaron) and former Vice President of Attic Records, who took notice of Marshall at a live show and instantly wanted to work with him. In the studio the duo created a soulful, intense collection of melodic tunes that Marshall called "Weapons of the Future." Fueled by a shiny new record, Marshall found the best players in the city and started to showcase at the major downtown venues, earning wide media coverage and rave reviews. The Marshall Dane seven-piece band was nominated for Best Live Electric in Septemver 2007 at the Toronto Independent Music Awards.
