MARTIN FERA
After enjoying more than 30 wonderful years as a working musician in Los Angeles with the likes of Joe Cocker, Vince Gill, CoCo Montoya, The Temptations, Bruce Willis, The Malibooz, Johnny Rivers, Walter Egan, Joe Walsh and a lengthy job with Glenn Frey, Martin Fera moved to Maui in 2015. He was thinking it might be time to explore new adventures life had to offer.
He just never imagined there would be a chapter two, but while in Hawaii Fera was sought out to play engagements with celebrities like Mick Fleetwood and Patrick Simmons The island’s popular artist, Grammy nominated and 19-time Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner, Willie K (William Awihilima Kahaiali’i) invited him out to join his band. Willie K played every kind of music including traditional Hawaiian, Blues, Rock ‘n Roll, Swing, Latin, R&B, and even Opera.
Dave Mason was a big Willie K fan, and in his shows also had great respect and admiration for Marty Fera on drums. The sheer amount of range of his shows was astounding, and Fera kept the pace with style and grace. Sadly, Willie K. passed away in 2020. When Dave Mason set up his band for his 2023 tour, he was delighted to have Marty Fera join in on drums.
“You’re in for a treat”, says Mason.
