Marty Ballou is high on the list of New England’s “first call” bassists. Highly regarded nationally for his work in the jazz and blues fields, he is equally at home in other genres including folk, rock, pop and Americana.
He has lent his special talents on his instrument, as an arranger, and as a producer to dozens of performers including Peter Wolf, Martin Sexton, Herb Ellis, Roomful of Blues, Cheryl Wheeler, Duke Robillard, John Hammond, Dan Moretti and Jimmy Witherspoon.
