The band is comprised of Rick Marshall, Gerald Bartley, Dave McNeer, Rob and Kellie Gilbert, and most recently Susan Branum who have combined their talents to form the RJ Marshall Band. The band is building a fan base of people that like to dance to a mix of upbeat blues, classic rock, original tunes and R&B favorites.

The RJ Marshall Band was founded by and features guitarist and vocalist Rick Marshall who brings years of performance experience. Most recently coming off four successful years playing with the "Phifer Marshall Band" winners of the 2005 River City Blues Challenge in Richmond, VA. and producers of the "Powerhouse Blues" CD. A musical career highlight was sharing the stage with regional blues artist Deborah Coleman. Rick brings many original tunes to the band's repertoire and his smooth and haunting guitar sound gives the band an edge that sets it apart from traditional blues bands and gives the band a unique presentation of traditional and classic tunes.

Rob and Kellie Gilbert joined with Rick to form the RJ Marshall Band in 2010 after relocating to Virginia from Maine.  Both have always had a love for music which they shared as members of their high school band in Old Town, Maine.  Rob has over 25 years of experience playing in several Maine bands, Secret Dreams, Majic, Crazy Alice and Head First as a drummer.  He began playing guitar nearly ten years ago, making his debut on the guitar in 2007 with the band Still Brewin' in Brewer, Maine and has now continued on as lead/rhythm guitarist with the RJ Marshall Band.  Kellie has made her debut with the RJ Marshall Band playing percussion and performing back-up vocals. She is also the band's sound person as well as the band's website administrator.

Gerald D. Bartley, alias the "Pink Panther" is a graduate of the Virginia State University and is currently a teacher in Richmond.  Gerald joined the RJ Marshall Band as the bassist in 2011, but has enjoyed playing lead/rhthym guitar as well as bass guitar in many other bands in the Richmond area including 1 Love, The Classics, Pressure Point, Evolution and Sabrina and the Raves.

Dave "Sticks" McNeer joined the RJ Marshall Band in 2011 after working in various other musical projects in Richmond, VA.  Dave is no stranger to working with Rick Marshall, as they both worked together in the "Phifer Marshall Band" where Dave's drumming helped that band win the "2005 Richmond Blues Challange".  Dave's experience and "enthusiastic" style of drumming adds plenty of back-beat to the sound of the RJ Marshall Band, we are glad to have him on-board.

Susan has played professionally since 1978 singing lead with 'Act I'. In the 80's she joined a band based out of Fredericksburg called 'Starplay' and in the 90's played with a rock band called 'Just Us'.  Since then Susan has done backup work for the likes of 'Empy Pockets' and recorded with them at 'In Your Ear Studios' here in Richmond, VA. Susan's strong suit is lead singing but she enjoys percussion as well as singing harmony.  She loves to keep that front line dancing, earning her the nickname "Motion"!
