About Me

YOU CAN GET OUR ALBUM HERE:
Marco And Asim are a dynamic duo! More pickin' and more grinin'. Blending blues, slide guitar and world sounds to tantalize your senses...Marco And Asim are definitely an aural treat! Not to be missed.
- Asim Khan is a self-described "late bloomer" who has been dabbling in low frequencies for over 25 years. Starting on baritone horn and euphonium, he now regularly plays trombone with The Saints, a 7-piece Classic Soul, Motown, R&B band. He has performed with Percy Sledge, Calypso Rose, Universal Xpression and YOU band. Asim has also been playing bass guitar for 15 years and is featured on acoustic bass on the recent release with guitarist Marco Bruschtein (Here Comes The Day). Truly a passionate player, you can see him on bass in the dynamic duo of Marco and Asim...So keep your ears to the ground and you will pick up this fellows low, soulful vibes...
- Marco Bruschtein has been known to emanate swap grooves, lake shores and other sound-scapes from the guitar. Going on 30 years of playing, he has applied himself to the craft surprising listeners wherever he travels. Constantly trying to incorporate new music and sounds into his songs, it is hard to describe his style as he blends, blues, slide guitar, open tunings, Indian classical music, African rhythms and his own unique sounds to create songs. Currently he is performing solo and in the duo Marco and Asim, who are celebrating their current release, "Here Comes the Day." His guitar work seems effortless and well worth the listen...
