Martin “Marty” Waychoff - Drums/Percussion

Martin "Marty" Waychoff (pronounced wáy-cough), born in Seattle in 1957, first learned to play drums in the 5th grade orchestra at Ravenna Elementary. About four years after graduating high school, Marty joined his first punk rock band, The Girls, in 1979, famously pictured wearing a Singha Beer midriff shirt and bare feet. Like many drummers, he performed with numerous bands and achieved regional commercial success with a group called The Cowboys, who were popular in Seattle and Portland and had the opportunity to open for major acts. He and his wife of 13 years later moved to Lake Havasu, where he has resumed playing drums with great joy and enthusiasm. Marty has recently become a member of Lake Havasu’s sole Rhythm & Blues band, Kevin Jaxon & Midnight Sun, infusing a fresh dynamic into the group’s distinctive, edgy funk style.
