Pennsylvania, United States (1993 – present)

Marah is an American rock band formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Bielanko from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, bass guitarist Danny Metz and drummer Ronnie Vance in 1993. Singer/songwriter/guitarist and harmonica player Serge Bielanko, Dave’s older brother, joined the band in 1995. The group featured Mummers Parade influenced banjos combined with standard rock music instruments to create a highly eclectic Roots Rock sound.

The quartet recorded two albums together: Let’s Cut the Crap & Hook Up Later On Tonight, released on Black Dog Records in 1998, and Kids in Philly, released on Steve Earle’s now-defunct E-Squared Records in 2000. Both critically acclaimed CD’s were recorded and produced by the band and recording engineer Paul Smith above an auto repair garage in south Philadelphia.

Metz and Vance left the band in 2000, and were replaced by Mick Bader on drums and Joe Hooven on bass. Augmented by Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner on lap steel, this version of the group toured extensively to support Kids in Philly. Marah performed the song, “Point Breeze” from Kids in Philly on The Late Show with Conan O’Brien in 2000. Bader and Hooven left Marah in 2001 and were replaced by Jon Kois (drums) and Jamie Mahon (bass) of Philadelphia psychedelic rock band The Three For Tens.

    Saw them yesterday in Barcelona, last leg of this tour. Serge is necessary to this band, he gives them so much.
