Career

Career Beginnings & Faktion: 1997–2010

[edit]

In the late 1990s before joining the band Faktion where he rose to fame, Dutton was in a band called Carb with fellow musicians he befriended in Denton, Texas.[citation needed] After attending the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, in 2002 Dutton met Josh Franklin, Jeremy Coan and Jeremy Moore; together the four-piece band formed Faktion where his bandmates nicknamed him "Marshal "Wolfie" Dutton" due to his shaggy hair and scruffy beard, originally Dutton was the lead singer until the band later recruited a fifth member, Ryan Gibbs to come in and be lead singer; Marshal then took over as lead guitarist for the band. Dutton recorded and released his first EP with the band titled "Make A Dent" in 2004, the EP attracted the attention of Roadrunner Records and the band was signed to their label in October 2004. Dutton contributed on every Faktion release which after 2004's "Make A Dent" EP consisted of the 2006 self titled debut album "Faktion[1]" 2007's "The B-Sides" EP,[2] 2008's "Ignite Whats Inside" EP[3] and "Crash Ashore" EP[4] along with the 2008 stand-alone singles "Best Goodbye[5]" and "Poison Ivy[6]".

With the exception of a few random live appearances in 2009 and a couple of tour dates opening for Hinder in 2010 on their "All American Nightmare Tour" Faktion remained relatively inactive, allowing the members to pursue other interests and take on new projects. However in mid 2010 the unreleased new songs titled "Dead To Me" and "Miss You" were posted by the band via Faktion's official Facebook page. There is also many unreleased recordings during Dutton's time with Faktion that still remains unreleased, the unreleased Faktion track "Dead To Me" was initially recorded and released on then Faktion singer Aaron Pose's band "Admiral Grey" 2012 debut album and the track was also re-recorded and released on Hinder's 2015 album When The Smoke Clears with Dutton performing on lead vocals.[7] As of 2022 a Faktion reunion is rumored to be in the works that will showcase new music and will see Ryan Gibbs return as lead vocalist, Marshal "Wolfie" Dutton on lead guitar, Josh Franklin on guitar and Jeremy Blackstock on drums.[8][9][10]

Producing Music & Drankmore 2010-2014

In late 2009 Dutton began helping write and produce songs for Hinder's 2010 studio album All American Nightmare. Shortly thereafter he founded Backlounge Productions alongside Hinder's drummer Cody Hanson.[11] Their cliental includes acts such as Dutton's new country project "Drankmore" alongside country singer Jarrod Denton,"9 Left Dead" and former Faktion bandmate Ryan Gibb's new band "Right On Red".[12]

Their debut single titled "Beer Pressure" was released on March 2, 2012, followed by another single "You Got To Me" that was released on October 26, 2012. The single "You Got To Me" peaked at #7 on country music charts during the week of March 27, 2013.[13][14]
