Classic TO Modern Rock
The Emily Marrs Band offers a unique spin on various
favorites including a vast repertoire that is
unprecedented, spanning multiple decades and
paying tribute to the Godfathers (and mothers) of
Rock and Roll.
Take a trip back to the days when Zeppelin, The
Beatles, The Stones, Cream and Skynyrd were
dominating the music scene. Then into the 80's when
Pat Benatar, The Cars, Blondie and Men At Work were
some of radio's most played artists. Throw in a mix of
other more recent and honored rockers like the Foo
Fighters, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes, and
you will feel the rock magic in the depths of your
soul.
We bring you a powerhouse of musical expertise
with soulful and belty vocals from Emily Marrs,
crafted guitar virtuosity by John Brose and Jim,
and a rhythm section of Kyle Inforzato and Tim
Carrington that will literally leave you utterly
breathless. Individually these musicians
inspire—collectively they rock. The band plays bars,
private parties, weddings,

EMILY MARRS
LEAD VOCALS / KEYBOARDS
Emily’s passion for music started at childhood with her mom’s Bee Gees, Beatles, &
Prince records and all of the early ’70s tunes played on her parents radio 24–7. She
sang her way through school choirs and 12 years of piano lessons and in college met
the musical mentors who would change her life.
From there she joined forces singing lead and backup for some of Boulder Colorado’s
finest folk and rock musicians, playing gigs in Boulder, Denver and various mountain
towns. Upon returning to Minneapolis in 2000, she found additional roles with
Bluesman Tom Hunter, Funk/Jazz player John Starkey and Gina Frances of Orange
Whip.
With an invitation from Brose in 2004, she began singing lead for The Emily Marrs
Band, performing her favorite genre of music, classic rock. Emily’s vocal prowess yields
soulful and gritty dynamics, often resembling the likes of female rock legends like
Chrissie Hynde, Janis Joplin and Susan Tedeschi. Her influences also include Robert
Plant, Rebecca Folsom, Pamela McNeill, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, and Dave Grohl.
JOHN BROSE
RHYTHM GUITAR
John Brose has been a fan of the music world as long as he can remember, not only of
rock gods like Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, Stephen Stills and John Lennon, but a
staunch supporter of old school Minneapolis talent such as The Phones, The Flaming
Oh’s and Curtis A.; the latter in fact who John sat in with at the beginning of his
musical career.
John’s dedication to his instrumentation is admirable and one to be respected.
Having taken up the guitar later in life, Brose immediately demonstrated his natural
affinity for the instrument and devoted application of learned theory to this great
love of his. These unique qualities have helped shape his savvy licks and foundational
rhythmic chording for the band.
The original founder of our group, Dr. Brose is also a prominent psychologist and
lecturer in the community, avid sailboat racer, owns horses, loves time in Florida, and
of course, being a rock star in his free time!
TIM CARRINGTON
DRUMS
Tim's dad played guitar in a band and he grew up listening to music everyday. His
early influences were Elvis Presley, Motown and Doo-wop. Tim got his first drum set at
the tender age of 6 and never stopped playing. He drove his parents nuts most times,
but he continued playing. When he came home from school everyday, he jumped on
the drums and forgot about everything else.
Tim and his friends started a band in the basement at the age of 9 and he knew right
then and there he would never put the sticks down. At 14, he played for a live
audience for the first time and never stopped giving audiences the best of what he
had. Tim went on to play with bands such as: Lifestyles, Susie and the Studmuffins,
The Law Band, 28IF, The Deep Fried Tweeters, and numerous other bands.
Tim continues to have a love for music such as: Steely Dan, Dream Theater, Incognito
and many more.

KYLE INFORZATO
BASS GUITAR / VOCALS
One-half of our rock-solid rhythm section, Kyle lays down bass lines from the fat and
funky to the frenetic and furious. He's a long time member of Northern Minnesota rock
legends Centerville All Stars.
In addition, Kyle spent a few years on the jazz scene with acclaimed unit Stash as well
as other outstanding jazz artists. He also happens to make the best Italian spaghetti in
the universe.
JIM STAVSVICK
GUITAR
Jim's life in music began with playing the clarinet in grade school thru college. During
high school, he picked up a garage sale guitar and began teaching himself to play it,
leading to his lifetime obsession with the instrument.
This obsession led him to attend lutherie school to learn to build and repair
instruments, as well continually working on improving his own playing. He has a wide
range of influences ranging from bluesmen like Robert Johnson, B.B. King, and Stevie
Ray Vaughn to classic rock icons such as Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Alvin Lee to
shredders like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to acoustic wizard Tommy Emanuel.
Thru the years he has been in many bands including Yeti, Dusted Enuff, and My Drunk
Uncle before bringing his versatile guitar playing and unique stage presence to the
Emily Marrs band.
