The plane landed at JFK, the Beatles stepped out. I was hooked. I've been playing music, writing, recording ever since. I've been fortunate enough to have met some real talented people along the way. I continue writing music every minute I get. I am also a photographer and get to work with many artists photographing their album covers, promo shots and live shows. I also photograph special events including awards ceremonies, weddings and other affairs. Check my website www.chrismarksbury.com where I've tried to incorporate my music and photography. To me it's all the same, it's a creative vision, it's an art, an expression, an essential force in life, like air, blood, water and love. I can't survive without it. Turn it up !! Bring it on, keep dreaming, live it up. I have been working with many bands on their music projects providing photography, working live shows, providing images for several audio companies, finding more and more talented and energetic artists, I will also still do weddings for the people who share the same vision I do, I photograph executives, banquets, and I am also working with The North Jersey Media Group and a few agencies who book me exclusively. I am in the process of assembling another collection of my own musical material for my next disc "It's All About You" which looks like it will have some very special guests as well. Let's see where this one leads me......

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/9/2006
Band Website: chrismarksbury.com
Band Members: It’s pretty much all me. There’s a little help recording .. tracks with some talented friends. Larry Scacchetti on background vocals, harmonica, lap steel, Jeff Gellis on bass, Steve Adler on bass, other than that it’s me doing what I can when I can. There’s no band [not yet, anyway....but there’s still time.] My current CD " A Little Guitar" is available at cdbaby.com, notlame.com and koolkatmuzik.com and has received some really great reviews. I’ll be uploading MP3s to this site whenever possible, trying to keep it FRESH. Thanks for looking, listening. Enjoy! I am working ..ing pre-production work on my next disc "All About You" now and it will feature a few special guests and is dedicated to my wife, Gina, [she says it’s about time, I agree.] It’s a collection of songs inspired by her and a song we wrote together "I Swear." So far it’s been quite a process, all of it. A transformation, a new day, every day......
