Veteran guitarist Marty Walsh III will speak at NECC.<\/p><\/div>\n

Los Angeles studio music scene veteran and Haverhill resident Marty Walsh will be the guest speaker of the Northern Essex Community College music department on Wednesday, November 19, at 1 p.m. in Room 220 of the Hartleb Technology Center on the Haverhill campus.

He will discuss various topics including recording session work, touring, the state of the music industry, and life as a contemporary professional musician.<\/p>\n

A guitarist, Walsh\u00a0<\/b>has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry.\u00a0 In the early 1980s he worked on hits\u00a0 \u201c9 to 5\u201d by Dolly Parton, \u201cShe Works Hard For The Money\u201d by Donna Summer, the Oscar-winning “Arthur’s Theme” by Christopher Cross, and \u201cHeartlight\u201d by Neil Diamond.<\/p>\n

He has also recorded with John Denver, Eddie Money, Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, and Julio Iglesias. In 1985 Walsh played guitar on the Supertramp album \u201cBrother Where You Bound\u201d, touring with Supertramp in 1985 and 1986. In 1988 he played on their 1988 release \u201cFree as a Bird\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In the late 1990’s Walsh recorded with Leann Rimes, playing on three of her albums including \u201cI Need You.\u201d More recently he can be heard on the Freddie Jackson single \u201cUntil The End Of Time, which topped the Billboard R&B charts at #1. This past June Walsh released his new instrumental album “The Total Plan” on Los Angeles-based Weberworks Records.<\/p>\n

He is currently an assistant professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston.<\/p>\n
