Marty got his nickname “Wall Street
Marty” from his days working on Wall Street as a Government
Securities Broker. Marty co-founded “The Wall Street Jam” with
the late Joe Sacerdote (Victim of 911) a cover Rock Band that was
comprised of all Professional Wall Street Brokers and Executives.
The band played on Thursday nights down at the South Street Seaport,
The World Trade Center, and local clubs. The year 1986 brought
Marty some local fame at the University of Tampa, Florida when
Marty’s brother asked him to write a song for his graduating class
(“I’m Coming Home Tonight”). The song stayed in existence for
the next three graduating classes.
In 1991, Marty formed
the band “Sidekick” a Rock Band that ran successfully for Six years
performing at popular New Jersey Rock Clubs until he formed “Double
Take” in 1997. Marty’s biggest fan is his nine-year-old daughter
who loves going to see the band perform at bridal shows and
sometimes attends band rehearsals. |
