Fife & Drom

Artist Details

Something Old, New, Borrowed…
Something Blues.

Fife & Drom is the brainchild of husband and wife team Mark Marshall and Abby Ahmad. Though the couple grew up down the street from each other in a tiny Pennsylvania town, destiny arranged their first meeting, oddly enough, over two decades later at the “Crossroads Cafe” in Brooklyn, NY. One might say their collaboration was fated. The duo pen original songs inspired by the works of blues pioneers Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Son House and beyond. Their name pays tribute to fife and drum blues music, a highly influential genre which emerged from Mississippi, the heart of Delta blues, as well as a nod to the dutch word “drom”, meaning “a group moving together with purpose”.

Joined by bassist Adam Minkoff and drummer Sean Dixon, Fife & Drom’s music incorporates the infectious rhythms and sounds from Delta and Chicago blues, but adapts with content for today’s life and times. Their explosive live shows have audiences captivated by the band’s unbridled passion, ceaseless energy and powerful dynamics.
