MARC’S MUSIC CAREER STARTED AT THE AGE OF 21.

HIS DAD PLAYED GUITAR AND SANG IN CHURCH AND BOUGHT MARC HIS FIRST GUITAR AT THE AGE OF 14.  LEARNING A FEW CORDS HE STARTED WRITING SONGS.

WHEN HIS DAUGHTER WAS THE AGE OF FIVE, HE WROTE HIS FIRST SONG CALLED “COME AND GO”. A SONG ABOUT A CHILD THAT MISSED HER FATHER BECAUSE HE WASNT AROUND A LOT.  THE SONG GREW A LOT OF ATTENTION IN HIS HOMETOWN, AND THE COLUMBIA GORGE. WINNING NUMEROUS TALENT SHOWS, AND AWARDS. IT EVEN MADE THE LOCAL RADIO STATION AND HAS HAD MANY REQUESTS.  

SINCE THAT SONG, HE HAS WROTE OTHER SONGS THAT PULL AT THE HEARTSTRINGS OF LISTENERS, INCLUDING “THE OLD ARMY BAG” THAT HE WROTE ABOUT A MOTHERS GRIEF OF HER SON NOT MAKING IT HOME FROM WAR.

MARC HAS HAS BEEN IN NUMEROUS BANDS.  THE FIRST BAND “WILDRIDE” HE STARTED IN 1997.  BOOKING EVERY WEEKEND FOR OVER A YEAR, THE BAND WAS POPULAR ALL OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, OREGON, AND WASHINGTON.

HE NOW IS HER LEAD SINGER OF THE BAND “IRONHORSE BAND” BASED OUT OF PORT ANGELES WASHINGTON, WHERE MARC NOW RESIDES.  THEY PLAY A VARIETY OF COUNTRY AND CLASSIC ROCK AND HAVE AN OUTSTANDING FOLLOWING.

MARC SPENT A SHORT TIME IN NASHVILLE WHERE HE TRIED HIS HAND AT THE BUSINESS. BUT DUE TO WORKING A COUPLE OF JOBS AND FINANCES WAS UNABLE TO KEEP UP, SO HE MOVED BACK TO OREGON.  HE HAS SINCE BEEN BACK AND WORKING ON HIS FIRST REAL ALBUM TITLED “COURTNEY’S SONG”, WHICH IS ONE OF THE SINGLES THAT HE WROTE ABOUT THE PASSING OF HIS YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, COURTNEY.  

MANY CONSIDER MARC A CROSS BETWEEN GEORGE STRAIT AND GARTH BROOKS, BUT REALLY HAS A UNIQUE SOUND HIS OWN.  

IN 2007 MARC GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN FOR RANDY TRAVIS, ONE OF HIS CHILDHOOD FAVORITES. HIS INFLUENCES ARE THOSE BY THE LIKES OF, MERLE HAGGARD, RONNIE MILSAP, GEORGE JONES, ALAN JACKSON, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER “TRADITIONAL” COUNTRY ARTISTS. MARC’S ALBUM IS DUE OUT LATER THIS YEAR IN 2026. AND SINGLES FROM THE ALBUM WILL BE ON ALL THE STREAMING FORMATS BY THE END OF MARCH 2026.  HE IS ALSO GETTING A WEBSITE READY WITH SOME HELP, THAT WILL BE READY SOON.
