Biography

“I’m as country as cornbread, “ states Red Marlow with a vocal inflection that can leave no doubt. Red is as country as it gets, with a love of skeet shooting, fishing and hunting. A native of Northern Alabama, this preacher’s son has been singing and playing music regularly since he was 9 years old. “My Dad would go preach, and then my siblings and I provided the music. We played mostly Bluegrass and Southern Gospel and there’s still some inflections of that in what I do today,” tells Marlow. His unique, hooky mixture of contemporary and traditional country styles creates a signature vocal sound that defines him as an artist. Songwriting came as naturally to Red as performing, making his move to Nashville an inevitable one. It did not take much prodding from fellow Alabama native Phillip White for Red to pack up all he had and head to Music City at the age of 22. “Phillip is one of my favorite songwriters. He wrote ‘I’m Moving On’ for Rascal Flatts, ‘Nobody But Me’ for Blake Shelton, and so many more. When someone like Phillip tells you that you need to move to town and make a career doing music, you listen,” said Marlow. His debut release, a self titled EP, was produced by friend and mentor Phillip White. Marlow co-wrote 4 of the 5 tracks, including the infectious single “Whatcha Think About That” which was featured on Sirius XM The Highway.  Red Marlow is best known for his appearance on Season 13 of NBC’s The Voice, member of Team Blake.
