Marshall
Wilborn, who is married to Lynn Morris, is one of the finest bass
players in bluegrass today. His clear, patient teaching on our Beginning
Bass, Intermediate Bass, and Slap Bass videos has helped many folks
learn how to keep good time. He plays with the Lynn Morris Band.
Marshall was born and raised in Austin, Texas. His bluegrass
credentials include membership in some of the music's most respected
and influential traditional bands - Jimmy Martin, The Johnson
Mountain Boys, and Longview. Marshall's vocals, energetic and
soulful with a primitive edge, are spotlighted in every Lynn Morris
Band show, along with many of his fine original works. Other artists
have recorded his songs as well - folks like Alison Krauss, Rhonda
Vincent, Doyle Lawson, The Johnson Mountain Boys and, most recently,
Jeannie Kendall.
Marshall produced and recorded his own instrumental album on the
Pinecastle label, Root Five, a tribute to the banjo and bass playing
that has inspired him throughout the years. The album was nominated
for Instrumental Recording of the Year by the IBMA and features
some of the finest banjoists in bluegrass, along with Marshall's
powerful and tasty bass work.
Marshall has started offering bass lessons in Winchester, Va. If
