Maro Drops, “carsick”

by The Alchemist

Born in poverty-stricken Beirut, it became clear to Maro from a young age his voice could be the ticket to a better life. Consequently, he became the walking definition of a ‘self starter.’ By his early teens, Maro was fluent in 4 languages (French, Arabic, Russian, English) and he can currently sing in 7 languages

 

Maro moved many times throughout his upbringing amidst war-torn Lebanon. Emerging from his chaotic surroundings was music – a much-needed constant and creative outlet. He began playing piano in 2nd grade and eventually joined a music school and started writing songs. He taught himself guitar from online tutorials, all while devouring every culturally-relevant musical genre: heavy metal and old-school hip hop, 90s grunge to chart-topping pop.

 

Maro began to see success after uploading covers to his YouTube channel, which grew immensely, seeing 28 million views on Youtube in the last year.

 

His newest track is called, “carsick” and it’s got some incredibly catchy lyrics that will get stuck in your head.  The hook begins with him saying. “Girl you make me car sick, Late night in the bar sick,” and it makes you want to stand up and grab someone and immediately begin to dance! Check out the track below.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
