History
Marooned first performed at the Las Vegas Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival in 1995. They performed at a number of small festivals and local venues until the release of their self-titled debut CD. Their first CD, was recorded at Studio on the Hill in Poway, California over the course of a weekend. The band began touring further, heading to Northern California.
After becoming regulars at Gen Con SoCal and Gen Con, Marooned released their second CD, Better Than Live, at Gen Con in 2007.
Of specific note, since their first year, Marooned has been part of five charity CD compilations to benefit the city of New Orleans (Circle and Lafitte's Return Vol. 1-4) and continues to make limited appearances across the country. While the group only appears on volumes 1 & 3 of the Lafitte's Return series, member Bob Brinkman produced the CDs and appears as a backup vocalist on Dead Men Tell No Tales (vol. 2) and the Derelict (vol. 4).
