Meet the Band

Marc: vocals, guitar & flute

Marc has led the Legendary Hitchhikers since 2012. He is also an accomplished songwriter and established an original rock band in Colorado (Odin’s Other Eye) back in 2007 that is still going strong today. From two ends of the spectrum, Marc’s songwriting influences stretch from Ian (Jethro Tull) Anderson’s brilliant intellect to Tom Petty’s bad-boy, sketch-story essence.

Jim: lead guitar & vocals

Jim has been a guitarist in the Denver music community since 2013. His band resume includes Deja Voodoo (which he co-founded with bassist Dan Grady), the Legendary Hitchhikers, and UnLeashed. A self-taught guitarist, his influences are steeped in the blues and include the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few.

Brion: keyboards & vocals

Brion was enlisted by Marc ten years ago and in 2025 he was re-recruited to join the next generation of the Legendary Hitchhikers. Brion’s past band experience included Ten Tiers, the Bar Misfits, and assorted projects that were lucky enough to obtain his chops. With the Hitchhikers, he is bringing Benmont Tench back to life as well as Pink Floyd, the Doors, the Cars, Jethro Tull, and much more.

Grady: bass

Grady has been a bassist in the Denver music scene for over 20 years now. Prior to this, he was involved in the Seattle music community, playing in several original bands. His influences include: the Allman Brothers (Barry Oakley was his biggest inspiration as a young bassist), Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, and funky grooves.

Austen: drums & vocals

Austen is a dedicated drummer and vocalist from Denver, with experience in two different rock bands in the metro area (the Legendary Hitchhikers and Odin’s Other Eye). Self-taught and passionate about music, Austen draws inspiration from bands like Metallica, Poison, and Motley Crue, bringing a heavier rock feel to the songs they play. Balancing both singing and drumming, Austen adds a unique dynamic to every performance.
