Merry Holidays!

Hey folks…

Wishing you all a great holiday! Thanks to all those who have sent personal notes on Facebook & Twitter and to my email account! Your kind words are much appreciated! THANK YOU!

This set of photos encompasses my last seven days. On Friday I flew to Germany to play a Christmas concert for German TV called “Weinachten mit dem Bundespräsidenten”. This happened in the very church where Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation with his 95 Theses. Pretty cool. It was a wonderful trip and once again fun to play with DG on the classical guitar! This show airs in Germany on Christmas Eve on ZDF.

(This week German TV I’m on a few Christmas shows backing up DG. Today I was sent a pic of me singing “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” with Jan Fedder for his Christmas special. It’s included in these photos…. Fun time!)

Fast forward 24hrs after the German concert, I was back in NYC and completely consumed with preparation and recording again for my next MW cd. So get ready folks… More music to come! My good friend and songwriter Matthew Kelley and I have collaborated on this next cd. I’m recording all his songs for this one! The songs have become OURS and it has been a great communal effort… Songs of positive energy and light!

The same great team from the MIRROR cd is with me again. Adrian Harpham on drums, Jonathan Maron on bass and Phil Nicolo recording and mixing.

I’m really looking forward to this project so stay tuned!

Have a great Holiday Season folks and I will see you all on the road!!

Big Love

Marcus

JK & the B’s performing Friday in NYC

I’m playing at a tiny coffee house with a great band I’ve been a part of the last 3 years or so. We’ve done two records to date and both recordings were recorded at a house in upstate NY for 3 days… Live tracking and a select few overdubs… A very organic approach. The band is the brainchild of legendary friend and writer Joel Kaminer. He’s one of those friends who send you 50 emails in the span of a few days and has absolutely no filter whatsoever… He would also do just about anything to help a brother out. He’s crazy and there is only one like him!
