Artist History Marco has been playing guitar since 1977. He's been writing songs almost as long. His first album, unsigned, unpublished, and unpromoted is called "Hootenany Green." It was copyrighted 1989 as a demo on digital audio tape (DAT) and cassette only, and sold 50 copies on first printing and 150 on the second. Marco says it contains 8 songs and a commercial. "Muselix," which you'll hear if you attend one of his recitals is the commercial. Well, a parody of such. Marco released it to radio stations under the name "anonymous," so he's thinking they didn't know where to send all the checks. The demo also includes "Hey Mon," which was co-written in 1988 with Carl Franklin. The music from it can be heard on any computer that has a soundblaster built in. Or look for it in search engines as reggae.mid Marco has about 400 original songs, but he's only happy with 300 or so. He has performed in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Kansas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, North and South Dakota, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Wyoming, Washington, DC and of course NYC, Connecticut and Rhode Island closer to where he comes from. Marco likes classical and folk mostly, but he also likes punk, pop and parody music. He used to play bass in a Christian Heavy Metal band called "POE," so if you hear a weird influence now and then it's probably just loose eardrums. "If you think the music you're hearing here is eclectic, you should hear what I do when I'm playing out in the streets!" he once told someone in the mezzanine to a theatre where he was playing classical guitar before nine showings of Phantom Of The Opera's bus-and-truck group. He didn't know it at the time but the woman he was telling this to was Sarah Brightman's Broadway understudy. She went on to lead both on Broadway and in the touring companies. Marco currently plays every day in the summer at an amusement park, and hibernates in the fall, winter and spring. He writes whenever he's awake and compares notes while he's asleep. Marco is a Pisces, loves the color purple, poetry and everything besides Proctor and Gamble products like Pringles, Puffs, Olean, Pantene, Prell and Pepto-Bismo. "Oh, did I leave out Puritan Oil, Jif, Tide and Pert?"

Instruments Guitar, guitar and guitar. And voice.
