Webpage

 I expect to keep things rather simple... And we will be shifting the official Marty & Elayne over to a webpage rather than a blog so that this information will be more smartphone friendly.  Thank you for your support for Marty & Elayne, and, of course for your patience in this matter.  (link: Marty & Elayne (official page)

Longest running live act in Hollywood history...

After 34 years of marriage and 33 years at the Dresden, Marty & Elayne Roberts are still going strong
Holding the record as the longest running live act at the same venue in the history of Hollywood, Marty and Elayne Roberts have been playing live music at the Dresden Room’s Lounge five nights a week for the past 33 years. For all of those years, the married performing duo has been protected under a union contract — an all-too-rare occurrence on today’s live music scene. In April, Linda A. Rapka stopped by the Dresden to chat with Marty and Elayne about how they keep things fresh after more than three decades.

Offbeat L.A. with Marty & Elayne!

Offbeat L.A.: Meet Marty & Elayne! A Video Trip to the Dresden Room in Los Feliz

Sometimes in Los Angeles the Santa Ana winds of change blow warm and caressing, taking one’s soul down a haunted memory lane in which the past comes softly knocking. At times like these the best medicine is a stiff drink in a dimly lit joint with crimson red leather booths; a place where time stopped ticking thirty or forty years ago. When the heart needs to be fed and elusive ghosts make themselves visible, it’s time to stop by the Dresden Room to see Marty and Elayne.

The Dresden Room Presents Marty and Elayne


Remember the scene in Swingers where that old couple sings standards to a bunch of hipsters? That couple, Marty and Elayne, still sings Cole Porter songs to those hipsters at the Dresden Room, which is a supercool place to get a drink, relax and feel like you're in Rat Pack–era Vegas. The Dresden has been serving dinner and mixing drinks since 1954. It is the Hollywood place to be and be seen. It's Ok to come by yourself--you won't be by yourself for long!
