These kind of performances are actually better than his albums. His albums are good but he’s so talented it’s like he doesn’t know what direction to go. Amazing talent.

There are a lot of Blues Musicians today that create "Music Studio" albums that really play down their abilities. They do this to make the people paying the bills happy but their live shows are amazing. It really sucks that the Music Studios don't appreciate the Blues but it is true. Kirk Fletcher, Samantha Fish and so many more. They are never as good on their studio albums unfortunately 😢

Yip, almost all of his live recordings I much prefer to his recorded albums. But then the live versions recorded at Shangri-La made me hope the truth of that is dawning, on someone.

If you know his albums, then you know that he clearly knows which direction to go. 6 albums, 1 ep and not one bad song in his whole discography.

Marcus I met you at the Tap House in Amarillo and was able to see you in San Antonio at the Majestic with your Dad. You told me you were a 5th generation musician and I said I’ll be praying for you. I had no idea how incredibly talented you are and I’m very happy to see you doing so well. Congratulations on your recent marriage and I will continue to be praying for you. Take the high road always, if you ever make it to Boerne TX you have a friend here. God Bless! Will Smith-Oak Hills

Just phenomenal, it's obvious he has an unreal understanding of the guitar, along with just an amazing voice, and playing talent. I've seen him several times, once it was in Philly and I had a preshow ticket where got to meet him and the band. He was so genuine, personable, and cool. He and the band took a really great pic with me, all signed my banner that comes with the preshow, got other great merch with it as well. Just a terrific experience. Fan for life, will see him whenever I can. Stay true bro, fight the demons, be there for my grandkids.

Marcus has to be under pressure, if he can lean on the band, he lays back. His abilities with rhythm and melody are amazing. Which doesn't come through as much with keyboards and horns. Also his live tone is pretty tough, way too much gain. When he plays cleaner, it brings out more musical ideas.
