Some videos...
Here are a couple of videos from recent (and not-so-recent) shows. I've been meaning to upload some new stuff to YouTube for a while. More coming soon...

Streetfest Tomorrow / Loco's Next Weekend
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know about a couple of upcoming shows...
This Saturday (tomorrow) at 3:15pm
, I will be playing in downtown Woodstock for the
Greenprints Alliance Streetfest
. This is an outdoor festival that's put on each year and includes street vendors, great food and live music on a huge stage. I'll be there with the band, so it should LOUD and fun!
The following weekend is my birthday, so I'll be celebrating by playing a live solo set at
Loco's in Buckhead
on
Saturday night (3/31) at 9pm
. This place gets plenty crazy on the weekends, so it should be a great place to celebrate.
If you can make it to either of these, I'd sure enjoy seeing you.
Best!
Marc

CD Release Party This Wednesday
Hi folks,
Rather than doing a full show to launch my new CD, I just want to celebrate with friends at Craver's Wednesday open mic this week at
Abbott's Bar and Grill
in Duluth.
So, bring your instrument and play a couple of tunes. Or, just come and hang out. I will be playing a few songs myself towards the end of the evening, but this is mainly just about hanging with friends and celebrating :-)
The fun starts at 7pm, but you can drop in any time. I hope you can make it!

Another Night Alone Release Date: Feb 14th
Well, it's finally time. My second EP,
Another Night Alone
, will be officially released on
February 14th
.
Yes, that's Valentine's Day and yes, the music is about loss and heartbreak. Maybe that's a bit melodramatic, but maybe, just maybe, there is a poetic irony here that is actually part of the story.
I leave that for you to decide...
So, without further ado, join me in welcoming the newest addition to my creative family,
Another Night Alone
, arriving via iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp and your local venue on
February 14, 2012
.
Cheers,
Marc

Nadia's Tears (for string quartet)
I wrote this short piece for a recent contest. The requirement was to use only three tracks, so I went with a string quartet arrangement.
Enjoy!

Life, the Zenoids and Everything
Wow, the past couple of months have been a whirlwind. Here's a quick update...
I was very fortunate to play at the bi-annual open mic shootout at Eddie's Attic last Friday. It was a really amazing experience. I didn't win, but I did make it through the first round. Sure, it's a disappointment, but in the end, I met some amazing people and spent a great night doing music.
I also entered a contest for composers recently on
Myouterspace.com
. I didn't win that one either, but I tried my best. Here's my entry...
In other news, I hope to release my EP "Another Night Alone" in early 2012. I'll be announcing the date soon.
Thanks for your support and friendship,
Marc

Five Spot Wednesday (last live show for a while)
Hello everyone,
I'll be playing at the Five Spot in Atlanta this Wednesday. I am opening at 9pm for a band out of New York called
Changing Modes
. The cover is $8.
This should be a great show since I'll be backed by a full band with some of the best live players in town - Mike Haid on drums, Steve Florczykowski on bass, and Scott Shackelford on electric guitar. I hope you can make it!
After that, I'll be taking some time off from playing live to focus on some exciting projects in Film and TV music. I've been working as a composer at a local studio and it's something I really enjoy. Who knows where things may lead?
Best!
Marc
