MARKLAND
MARKLAND consists of brothers Justin and Aaron, their father Tunker, and a great family friend Randy Jones of the local band The Clairemonsters. Justin and Aaron were born and raised in Ocean Beach and were introduced to Tunker's record collection at an early age. They absorbed a wide range of music such as Steve Miller, Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Minor Threat, and Red Hot Chili Peppers just to name a few. In high school, Justin and Aaron formed a hardcore punk band with the name of Soylent Green. Aaron later went on to record a solo acoustic album with producers Robert Vaughn (CBS, Sony), and Chris Julian (Queen Latifah, Billy Idol) at Treefort Studios in Los Angeles. Eventually Justin and Aaron reconnected and began performing under the names The Markland Brothers and The Seawall Prophets. The brothers next recruited Tunker to infuse some Delta blues riffs and punk rock energy into their set. Randy soon completed the sound with his poppy backbeats, impeccable personality, and amazing smile. Come check out the next MARKLAND show and enjoy a fun and energetic fusion of blues, funk, and rock.
