“Code 9 is such a fantastic band! They rocked the crowd at our festival and made DCCH the place to be on June 11th. We are so thankful for their kindness and accessibility and can’t wait for another amazing performance in 2011!”
- Morgan l. Feldman-Kells, Diocesan Catholic Children’s Home, Festival Chair
“Code 9 is one of the top rock bands on the Greater Cincinnati music scene. One of the major factors in their success and popularity is front man Marty Connor. Marty’s commitment to excellence in performance and crowd-pleasing vocal talent is driving Code 9 to national recognition and beyond.
I was honored to play on Code 9’s killer remake of the hit, “I’m Your Captain.” One listen to this track and you’ll understand why Code 9 is on their way to the top!”
- Mike Haid (contributing writer for modern drummer)

Bio
CODE 9 IS MADE UP OF SOME OF THE FINEST MUSICIANS IN THE GREATER CINCINNATI AREA
MARTY CONNOR-Lead Vocals
A perfect prototype of a power rock lead singer, Marty has thrived on the local music scene for decades. In addition, Marty was discovered by producer/engineer Robin Jenny and joined local song writers Aaron Hogarth and Lana Martin McDonald to co-write and sing several songs that were aired on the international soap operas Guiding Light, Another World and As the World Turns.
DAN WALSH - Guitarist and Vocals
One of the most sought after guitar instructors in the tri-state, Dan also makes his living by playing at church, theater productions, parties, clubs and weddings. Dan is proud to follow in the professional footsteps of his cousin Mike Reilly (bassist of Pure Prairie League) Dan also looks forward to seeing you at the next CODE 9 show!
TIM BEHNE - Guitarist and Vocals
Tim, the shy quiet one in the band until you hear him singing AC/DC, is the brains behind CODE 9. Tim has been influenced by such guitar greats as Jimmy Page and of course, Eddie Van Halen. After a short break, Tim came to realize music was still part of who he is. He called his old friend Marty and CODE 9 was born!
JAY “JAYBIRD” CROWLEY –Bass and Vocals
Hitting the bottom like no one else can! Jaybird’s playing days started with local favs Cereal Killers, an alt-punk band that made the scene across Clifton, Mt Adams and anywhere the party was. “Jaybird” then teamed up with guitarist Dave Strassel in retro-rock band Time Machine. “Jaybird” loves to hit that bottom with authority in CODE 9.
DANNY MAHER -Drummer and Percussion
Danny has over a decade of experience in the Greater Cincinnati music scene including rock cover band Jack Trigger. Danny’s solid and tasteful approach rounds out CODE 9’s energetic sound.
