9 Hi Def Camera shoot of the Cirque du Vampire production has taken a month of editing! But that is because of all the Surreal elements I have added that could not be performed on stage.
Las Vegas-What a blast and it was raining….flooding the city! The doors of the Grand Ballroom were open to the cover patio and we performed inside and out. My wireless worked fine in Vegas….always a worry because the frequencies that work for sending music to the sound system are different in some parts of the country.
Saturday, April 2: 6 PM - 8 PM

with photographer Tom Peck’s “Urban Aggregates, The Times Square Series”

Twisted Vision runs through May 1, 2011
Studios on the Park
1130 Pine Street, Paso Robles
Marston performs Frank Gehry’s Brain CenterPerformed at the Center for Brain Health designed by the architect Frank Gehry for a kick off party
for Estee Lauder’s new line. Over the years I have performed events for Lou Ruvo’s Keep Memory Alive charity that does research for Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and ALS
I so love Vegas, might just move there but I would miss Middle Earth a lot.
Met the Dark Angel last week in Vegas at the Fremont Street Experience.
Yep I have it all figured out. I read somewhere that the European solar cell manufacturers
funded the Global Warming studies and it is all a hoax to up their sales. Therefore I decided to open up the
Malibu Mountain Ice Age Survival Gear Outlet Store. I carry -40 degree boots, jackets,
and idorade dog sleds and for the “Oh Crap” scenario I have M256 machine guns,
nuclear radiation masks and 5th generation night vision goggles.(Also a wide selection of 17th Century
Italian cellos for you to practice on cold winter nights)
There is a new corporate and public conservatism that effects the arts in this difficult economy.
No more suits for me….that’s no more suits of gothic armor but regular suits.
For Xmas parties, corporate events and weddings, the recent request are for me to wear black.
My Violincello d’amore has 12 strings. 5 to bow and 7 to vibrate sympathetically.
My armor is Italian Gothic.
Funny thing was that the studio musicians are required to park across the street from the studio in a parking structure. The trouble was I do not trust my 911 to get me there from Malibu and also my face would just get sun burnt so I drove the gig mobile…..the 11ft tall Dodge Sprinter Van. This is my dream vehicle…made by mercedes benz with dual turbo, and dual rear tires…and black….windows too! Well it does not fit in the parking structure and so I drove on the Warner Brothers lot to the dismay of security……I sure hope they have me back for future recordings. This is a huge problem when I gig in Vegas, San Fran, San Diego because I can’t park in the hotel or convention’s parking structure but only in loading docks or find an open air lot down the street….
What fun! Everyone was there, Cast of Glee, original Cast..Jack Nicholson, Danny De Vito, Lucas Grabiel….and I did the front of house gig for the costume party scene with the bass player and drummer from the cover band Iron Maidens
Always a total blast! Lady GAGA and Metallica. Great audience.

so the
gig tonight is Katy Perry’s Bday party…I don’t think I better give
out the theme(probably a surprize)…Last Saturday the Playboy Mansion gig for Mopars was a
blast…300 beautiful (and scantily clad) girls and 300 old hot rod
collectors and builders. MiniMe
is some babe magnet but the girls all posed for photos with me
too…Hey maybe someone will send me some photos and I will post. Hef
didn’t come out while I was there(probably hates posing for photos) and
of course some girls got naked in the pool. I think next time I will
perform in the Grotto with them(”of course I will keep my armour on….never take it off…
why I would be vulnerable”…so spoke The Grand Manipulator

Yep, Yes sir I won the Los Angeles Art Association Competition with my flying Rhino. LAA/ Gallery 825(la Cieniga)Juried by David Pagel, LA TImes Art Critic.
Google, Ebay, Microsoft…..everyone was there and I was the show with two beautiful winged stilt walkers. San Jose Convention Center(4MINUTE SHOW!!!)
John Ohurley and I will tape the New Years Eve special for China. New CD out for XMAS Secrets for the Lake.
OK your big chance to see me, touch me at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa CA.
Great response! Women and children were left speachless and men humbled stared at their shoes. I think that as a performer who for many years lived in the traditional classical world of music and then found the real and immediate effect of live performance when done on street. If I did not emotionally blow everyone away I was not going to feed my family. My art has the same effect. In your face with love, violence, romance, heroism and ecstasy.
We put on the whole show….4 dances…..and the insane Fiddler Dr James Sitterly.

My first show was held at Malikbu Living Gallery at 22333 PCH Malibu. These where never before shown bronzes and if you miss the show I understand because these sculptures will be here for 10MILLION YEARS!(I read that in Science News) I still have 3 pieces on show there until 2009I sculpt first in a oilpolymer clay over an armature of wire, aluminum foil, and plumbing pipe.Living with the projectover a few months gives you new insights. Often your dreams tell you what to do and (more…)
When am I ever gonna finish this production trailer? (I seem only have time for curious music videos)
Yahoo! I was the opener for the huge Alzheimer’s Benefit-”Keep Memory Alive”. The Canadian Michael Buble was the headliner(I just say that……out of humble generosity of course) I just sent Drops of Jupiter to the Producer to work out the routine with my Ballerinas and they did a fantastic job. An extraordinary party 
every one was there, Wolfgang, Emeril, Maria Shriver, Frank Gehry, and of course me!
I had the honour of performing for the Marriott Masters at the Conde Nast Gold List as one of the greatest hotels in the world the Renaissance Esmeralda. The Marriott Masters were 250 event planners who had spent over 5 mill a year at Marriott properties! Yahoo, my perfect audience.
My first gig on an Aircraft Carrier and what a novel location for a elegant party. My client Hartford Steam Boiler always has the most fantastic parties that go back as far as 1866!!!I have played for them for years(but I don’t think I back that far) 
Oops. THe Highlander is caught with a very pretty guest!(she sent me the photo)
What a fabulous casino! Beautiful art, waterfall, shopping, etc,. And what a fun gig. I did two short sets with rear screen projection(my film from Malta and European castle shots mixed with the live feed) and my friend and 2nd half of our duo album Peace of Our Minds, was the MC.
Hiking with my sons, we kept an eye for Orc sign. We loaded our crossbows when we noticed that we were being followed.
I battle the Dragon Knights and I’m not sure who won.
Marston’s Live show along with the Battle of the Bands, Lover’s COve, Bourbon Street, Club Carnivale of Freaks, and thousands of masked wild screaming party animals, and society sophisticates(I guess I made that last part up)Ticketmaster or 714 241-9055 for more information.No entrance without mask or costume!…..Well not really but I want you to be part of the happening. The update is that I perform 7-10pm…..so I think we are going to try a grand entrance with the Dragon Knights(stilt performers riding creatures) and then I would play a long set, take a break and then do the last set with the Dragons again for the parade exit. Carnivale link
I only wish we could do this gig at Israel’s National museum in Jerusalem. Full of 10,000 year old artifacts from Africa, the Americas, Oceania and the Far East.But I will bet ya that they have no Medieval Battle Armours…..(I am an avid collector……my upstairs is wall to wall….an armory)
4000 people from all over the world. 200 musicians and entertainers. I almost closed the event down….the police came and had my turn down the volume…..
Grand Opening of the Bella Rosa Gallery on Thursday night up in Santa Barbara.

So I blessed the sea thrice and my mount and I walked on water.
The first time my electric cello was heard in the jungle. Nosara, located in the North Pacific near Playa Guiones is the site for this concert. Costa Rica is beautiful along with the people and I am thinking of living there but I worry that my armor will rust.
1st time for me and Bermuda was both beautiful and customs was extreme, each piece of sound gear needed a visa and a bond.Where I performed….the Dockyard, was a fantastic fortress, museum, and dockyard shown here. 
There are these great old buildings all over that are empty and with the 30million expansion of this area for cruise ships and tourism…….this could be a perfect location for a famous sculptor to hang out in his studio/gallery and talk to tourist as he sculpts away. Problem I see is that it is far from Malibu and tourist would want normal bronze pieces, dogs, kids, golfers, etc,. …… I would probably do sea gods and mermaids!
Orange County Performing Art Center,and I still am working on the DVD! The live clip at lordofthecello.com is from the show.
I love the scroll Headdresses and wings on my stiltwalkers….it is an epic mood as they stroll through the Martian landscape.
A fantastic concert with Native Americans from South and North Americas. I took my daughter Hallie in order to sell cd’s and felt odd that we were the only blonds(mine is mostly out of the bottle and I have no idea about Hallie’s) My grandmother was raised and schooled at the Cherokee Seminary for Women on the reservation in Oklahoma Territory. She would tell me stories about my Great Great Great Grandfather, Chief Bushy Hair! I am so glad he was bushy!My show was a hit and what a relief. I used a rear screen projection system and had great battle scenes going as I performed. I entered playing from the back of the auditorium in my armor and it was dramatic.As it was, it was quite the eclectic show with performance as diverse as acient Aztec and Reservation Blues.
What a beautiful setting. I dress as a Highlander and play a lot of Celtic. A important reminder—Ladies who drink to much wine love to take a peek under a man’s kilt. I do get tired of explaining what I have under my kilt!
Boy, do I love XLCapitol. Paying me for a 10minute gig in such a fabulous city like Berlin. It blew my mind with its frantic construction of colossal Classic Empire buildings. My oldest son who was living in Budapest came to visit, along with my German friend Steffi and all here girlfriends. We went to the DISCO and danced the entire night…..boom boom boom boom…..the next day Hampton and I barely made it to the Helmut Newton museum. I was so completely pissed that I did’nt meet him and know him because his last few years(before his deadly auto accident) was right here in LA and Palm SPrimgs. The two places that I live in most
Always a blast performing with John and hanging with Lisa. The fun is traveling with these celebrities and discovering how gracious they can be with the public….even when exhausted from the RedEye LA to Philly. Our album Peace of Our Minds did a #13 on Billboard!!!!
…was a blast. I perfomed on the outside patio of the Honolulu Hyatt as the waves crashed. Then inside I did a dinner set. I also did a bit of a show were I told heroic and funny bits from Shakespear and films. They ate it up even though I am in a radical costume(gold armor) Many have seen me before at these events
OK so I will wear white and do my thing
In armor,I entered the event with a Roman Legion and we marched up to a small stage in the center of the great hall. Models in chaimaile bikins were posing on columns. I later did a Ultra Louge set with a DJ mixing our two sounds until the B-5’s started their set
I always have a blast at these but sometimes it rains…….and never stops but nothing stops a Highlander
I came as a pirate and I see that YOUTUBE clips of my little show got popular
