Dave Marsh (musician)

[3][4] Marsh and his band, The True Love Rules, toured in support of the album in 2008 and 2009, opening for fellow Halifax acts Sloan and Joel Plaskett Emergency.

[2][5] Throughout 2011-12 Marsh worked on songs for his next project and played shows with his band the True Love Rules, often featuring Paul Boudreau on bass guitar and Scotty MacCullough on drums, in between a busy touring and recording schedule with the Joel Plaskett Emergency.

Recorded primarily at the Echo Chamber in Halifax and self-produced, it featured many local guest artists including John Boudreau, Rob Crowell, Andrew Scott and Tim Brennan and received good reviews across the country.

Marsh next produced his friend, Thomas McGachy Smith, who frequently opened local shows for the True Love Rules, with an album called Mugak Heart.

Also during this period Marsh began collaborating with ex King Konqueror vocalist, Steve Rolston, on a project which eventually morphed into a rockin' band with punk roots, called Rolly & The Navy Brats.
