Asked to name his major influences, Marty cites "Bobby, Freddie and Eddie; Bobby Radcliff is an incendiary guitarist who dominated the D.C. scene when I was a teenager. The classic instrumentals of Freddie King were some of the first songs I ever learned and, I was heavily influenced by the raw, driving guitar sound of Eddie Taylor."
