Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush

Mahogany Rush was a Canadian rock band led by guitarist Frank Marino. Formed in Montreal, Quebec, in 1969, the band reached its peak popularity during the 1970s, performing at major venues such as California Jam II. The group is best known for Marino’s soaring lead guitar style, often compared to the playing of Jimi Hendrix. Long‑term members included bassist Paul Harwood, drummer Jimmy Ayoub, and Marino’s brother Vince Marino on guitar. Frank Marino remained the only continuous member throughout the band’s existence. Beginning in the late 1970s, the group recorded and toured under the name Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. Marino has described the band’s sound as “The Grateful Dead meets jazz.” To attract media attention, the band’s original record company fabricated a story claiming that Frank Marino had spent time in a mental institution after taking LSD and had received a vision from Jimi Hendrix. As the band moved to a larger and better‑funded label, they achieved their greatest radio success with the single “Strange Dreams.” Another single, “A New Rock & Roll,” reached No. 70 on the Canadian charts and No. 88 on the Cash Box Top 100.
