San Diego, CA - The Mar Dels have been a staple here in San Diego since 1982. They have become San Diego’s most well-known nostalgia band. That is fancy shorthand for “cover band”.
But dont underestimate their importance. The band has soared to rare heights in its career. The highlights include playing for President Reagan at a campaign rally, performing for the celebrations of the 1997 Hong Kong transfer of sovereignty, and appearing at Radio City Music Hall in New York City… (among other things).
The most important factor in building their reputation has been their regular performances at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Over the years the Belly Up has remained as one of San Diego’s most important live entertainment establishments.
Their hard work has been recognized with several awards. They were voted best band by San Diego Union Tribune readers, as well as Ranch and Coast Magazine readers.
Crowds have thrilled to the antics of the band leader, singer and keyboard/piano player, Doug Allen. In addition to the high energy that he puts into his performances, he is renowned for his dexterity as a saxophone player. Allen is adept at playing the instrument upside down and even playing two saxophones at one time!!!
With two impressive female lead vocalists and a solid rhythm section, the band has become a powerhouse in San Diego’s live entertainment scene.
Since its inception the band has been playing the best music from the 50’s – 70’s. They have now expanded its repertoire to include select hits from the 80’s and 90’s as well as swing standards from the 40’s.
