Marv and Rindy Ross will bring Quarterlash to perform in As-
toria on Nov. 5.
Quartlash tickets on sale
for Liberty heater concert
ASTORIA — The Liberty
Theater will presents the
second concert of its 2016-
17 Liberty Presents Series
at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Nov.
5 with Quarterlash, led by
Marv and Rindy Ross.
The Rosses irst per-
formed together in the ’70s
at Western Oregon Univer-
sity where they fell in love
and got married. While
completing their teaching
degrees, they began gigging
in bands with Rindy playing
sax and singing Marv’s
guitar-driven compositions.
After teaching three years in
Central Oregon, they took
very early retirements and
formed Seafood Mama — a
popular dance band that
played every smoky hippie
bar between Seattle and
Portland in the late ’70s.
In 1980 they recorded
Marv’s song “Harden My
Heart,” which became their
irst hit and led to Geffen
Records signing them.
Over the next decade they
released four albums under
a new name, Quarterlash,
garnering gold and platinum
records and tours with Elton
John, Linda Ronstadt and
assorted big-haired ’80s acts
better left unmentioned. It
was an exciting, tumultuous,
insane era, and the Rosses
lived out many a fantasy
including Marv writing a
song with Burt Bacharach
and Rindy appearing on
Merv Grifin with Richard
Simmons.
In 1991 they formed Ross
Productions to create music
for NW audiences. Their
irst project was a com-
mission from the state of
Oregon to produce a musical
based on diaries of immi-
grants on the Oregon Trail.
From that project came The
Trail Band and nine CDs of
traditional Americana music.
Also, the Rosses gained
a deep interest in Native
American music, and Marv
began to write his second
play, “The Ghosts of Celilo,”
a Broadway-styled musical
featuring Native American
music and culture. “Ghosts”
was presented in October
2007 by Artists Repertory
Theatre at The Portland
Center for the Performing
Arts to rave reviews and 13
sold-out performances.
Recently, the Rosses were
awarded Western Oregon
University’s Alumni Award
of Excellence, and they
released their new Quarter-
lash CD, “Goodbye Uncle
Buzz.”
Tickets cost $15, $25 or
$35 and are available at the
Liberty Theater’s box ofice,
