Greg Koch said the band came together when his son Dylan Koch convinced him to meet Toby Lee Marshall one afternoon. The three musicians got together to play at a local recording studio. The three players all felt like they had a connection.

Style and legacy

The Koch Marshall Trio's debut album Toby Arrives contains songs that, "morph into an amazing new relationship with organ influenced Blues Rock."
"‘Toby Arrives’ is the sort of album you could stack alongside a Thelonious Monk record, a Jeff Beck record or a Mike Landau record. If you went for one of the other three and got this by mistake your day wouldn’t be ruined."
