I'm excited to announce I was asked for an interview for the September issue of the magazine/online zine Courageous Creativity!

"Walking into the Ballard Loft at 11AM on a Saturday morning kind of makes one reflect on priorities. I had to question why I was attending a “Band Crawl” beginning at 11AM anyway, but all reservations immediately swept themselves under the theoretical rug when I witnessed Mr. Rob Marcus and crew sound checking. His presence held weight, and his demeanor was sincere. His guitar, a Takamine; I play a Takamine. I liked this guy from the start. As Rob began to play, he thanked the lookiloos and passersby for coming in, he knew he was the Genesis and what was to become a day filled with firsts. Mr. Marcus revealed himself to be quite a proficient and technical artist. With Matt Nathanson’esque feel, Rob hooked you in with feel good tones and heartbreak lyrics. By the time he had finished, I was ready for the mid set conversation, but...band crawl, the artists were allotted only half an hour at each venue, thus packing up and moving on to the next, but not before he and his band belted out “Marie”, his Swan song to his set at Ballard Loft, and off they went. I caught a ride, I was literally William Miller and getting on the bus for a journey I would never forget."

This is and excerpt from the review of the 2011 Critical Sun Recordings Band Crawl benefitting Music Aid Northwest written by Thomas Starks, the music director for Seattle Night Out Radio.  Please see the article in it's entirety here. 

What a turnout at Fremont's White Rabbit!  The place was packed, people were dancing, this is the stuff musicians thrive on.  Thank you all for making it such a wonderful night including stellar performances from Sightseer and Jackie Rome. 

The all new White Rabbit will be hosting us along with Sightseer and Jackie Rome Friday, July 15th.  Hope to see you there with your dancing shoes on!

I've just added new footage from the University District Street Fair show.  We we're honored to kick of the longest running street fair in the states!  Check out a video of the performance here and photos here. 

Fresh off the press we have the brand spankin' new Rob Marcus T-Shirts.  Silk screened on high quality T's is the Elephant Logo commemorating the recently released Rob Marcus EP.  The songs from the EP were written or inspired while Rob was volunteering in Southeast Asia immediately following the 2004 tsunami.  Rob spent several weeks writing on the island of Ko Chang (Elephant Island).  The elephant is also an appropriate symbol for Rob's first official music release as it represents a remover of obstacles which paves the way for new beginnings.  You can purchase the T-Shirts and CD's at live performances as well as on the "Merchandise" section of the website.  Your purchases make it possible for Rob to continue creating, recording, and performing.  Thank you for your continued support!
