BIO:

Marc Black is an eclectic folk-rocker who sings about Rachel Maddow, good coffee and just about everything in between. His most recent CD, ‘Pictures of the Highway, was #34 for the year and one tune reached #6 on the Folk DJ Chart.

Marc has experience in many formats, from 100% improvisations with buddhist scholar Robert Thurman, to leading the most popular rock band in the town of Woodstock.

His No Fracking Way has become an anthem for the anti-fracking movement and has been sung at rallies as far away as Ireland and Australia. He was a finalist in Kerrville’s ‘New Folk’ competition. And just a few months ago he was recognized by Music2Life as an artist who is ‘making a difference’.

Marc has recorded with an array of luminaries including Art Garfunkel, Taj Mahal, John Sebastian and Garth Hudson, to name a few.

Happy Traum recently wrote about Marc’s new CD, Pictures of the Highway…’Deep grooves, excellent playing, top notch guitar and vocals…Marc’s songs are timeless.”
