Dan Stuart – Marlowe’s Revenge Tour
Dan’s solo acoustic show will feature songs along with stories of the early days with Green on Red and throughout his solo years!
———
Dan Stuart aka Marlowe Billings is set to return to Europe for his first shows since 2018 featuring songs from across his solo and Green on Red catalogue and a very brief reading from his third and latest novel Marlowe’s Revenge along with stories of his time with Green on Red. Green on Red will be releasing the first volume of their back catalogue this Sept featuring the years 1980-1984.

Dan’s latest novel sees him returning to Tucson, Arizona in the '90s to get clean and save a failing marriage. Staving off demons with countless rounds of golf, he stumbles into his hometown’s crime-ridden underbelly, where old friends and a brewing cartel war threaten his sobriety, his sanity, and his life.
Dan Stuart is a musician and author who was the leader of Green on Red, a band associated with both LA's Paisley Underground of the 1980s and the beginning of the so-called Americana movement. His "false memoir" The Deliverance of Marlowe Billings was published in 2014 to critical acclaim which was followed up with The Unfortunate Demise of Marlowe Billings in 2018. All three of his books have albums by the same name, with the last getting Americana Album of the Month in UNCUT Magazine, Dan has released over 15 albums between Green On Red and his solo years.

"I want to thank the El Tiradito shrine that Marlowe Billings rides again. Dan Stuart was in one of my favourite bands, Green on Red, and now has created Marlowe Billings my favourite golf-loving, ex-junkie, trouble-collecting miscreant. With Marlowe’s Revenge, Dan Stuart proves once again he keeps getting better and better."Willy Vlautin, award-winning author of The Motel Life and songwriter for The Delines and Richmond Fontaine

“Marlowe's Revenge is top-rate screwball noir, a finger-clicking mix of guns, drugs, golf and rock & roll. Think Carl Hiassen, Dave Barry, and Laurence Shames, with a little Charles Willeford on the side. Hip, hardboiled and hilarious.” —ALLAN JONES, author and former editor of Melody Maker and UNCUT Magazine, author of Can't Stand Up For Falling Down: Rock 'N' Roll War Stories
