MARC BLACK
Marc Black is a colorful singer/songwriter and an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist. Most of his writing is personal in nature...songs to family members, friends and town characters. Last Fall, he made international news (33,000 hits on youtube) with a song lambasting Martha Stewart for attempting to trademark his town's name; his ritual of visiting his local coffee shop just recently inspired a tune that's been getting lots of attention, 'Ooh, I Love My Coffee'. And last year, Marc completed a CD/film project with songs based on the poetry of a stroke survivor who woke up from a 21 day coma...only after his doctors had pulled life support! The 'Stroke of Genius' CD includes Art Garfunkel, John Sebastian, Steve Gadd, among others. He performed these songs at last year's Sundance Film Festival.
Black's recording credits include collaborations with Richie Havens, the theme music for the New York Mets in 1988-90, and scoring for 'Sex & The City'. His albums have come out on the RCA, GRP, Jubilee, ESP, and the Suma labels. As Paul Winter put it, "His songs are great and the singing is superb."
