Marty Stokes was originally raised on Sanibel & Captiva Islands, Florida and has been playing different variations of Blues Music since he was a kid. Raw and melodic, original, and reaching to the emotional core, Stokes will not disappoint the rocker who digs Blues grooves on top of it all. The Captiva Band is named after the Island in the Sub-Tropics, and home to his family since the 1800's. A group of long-time friends, the band delivers the goods with tasteful grooves over Stokes' originals, alongside creative arrangements of covers. Todd Haut, Jennifer Mazziotti, and Carv Clauson make up the 'core' of this group of musical crazies.
Having just released his first CD entitled 'HEAR YOU CALLIN', Stokes encourages Blues lovers to listen to the sound bites / samples, which can be found under the CD Link tab. Another link on that page will take you to CD BABY if you'd like a copy. Reviews are great on the compositions and engineering. Check it out.
The Captiva Band is also performing in clubs around SW Floridia, in places like the Crows Nest, Jacaranda, Berts Bar at Matlacha, Doc Fords at the Beach, Freddie Rebels in Naples and other eclectic spots that tourists and locals love. They have also played local Blues Fests such as Matlacha in 2006, Bonita in 2008, and Buckingham in 2008 and 2009. The band also performed at the 2011 Bonita Blues Festival and recieved the popular vote for 'Favorite Act of 2011'.
