–Roz Roberts (Veteran, Operation Gig Participant)

Marten Andersson, no there is this guy, a role model friend. One of my dearest buddies. Such a big heart. He got me on a Lizzy Borden album, and let me guest with his band Steelheart live. He always hooks his friends up and never ask for anything in return. It's hard to get him back because he has always been booked with the best artists.

Very Solid Player and Reliable Guy

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Marten during the 2021 Summer Operation Gig Program, Marten was the Music coach. I have nothing but positive things to say about Marten. I accredit Marten for helping build my confidence, by making what I once view as difficult music concept appear achievable. He has an infectious can-do attitude, a no man or woman left behind mind set. Marten is an exceptional musician with a thorough knowledge of music theory, an excellent showman.
