Marc's earliest remembrances growing up in Miami were always listening to and wanting to play music. Whether it be Beatles or Beethoven, it captured his imagination. Instead of going on the rides at Disney, he'd wander off to the bandstands at age eight. Soon, his family inherited a neighbor's lonely acoustic guitar and he began to pluck on it. A week or so later, sheet music in hand, he was strumming the weeks' number one AM radio hit. By seventh grade, he joined up with a few junior high schoolmates playing electric guitar in a band poolside during holidays at Miami Beach hotels. But the band he really wanted to play in needed a bassist...and after begging his dad for a new rig, his high-school years were with what ultimately became one of the best three-piece 70's classic rock cover bands in Dade county FL. After hundreds of explosive gigs, and a diversion to playing jazz for a while, the college years were spent poolside in Tampa, singing "acoustic guitar party tunes" on weekends. These were the "play for beer" years. Marc continued to hone his instrumental and vocal skills playing with many fine musicians and bands in the Tampa area for a number of years. Before heading to north to Maryland, Marc was lead vocalist/bassist for Radio Crime, an outstanding Tampa Bay festival oriented classic 70s rock band. After gigging around "here and there" with a few southern Maryland country and rock musicians for a few years, Marc began to feel the pull of getting back in to the acoustic solo genre. Once again, playing for family or friends and weekend gigs at the local pub, he's back in his element these days... "playing for beer"!
