Growing up in the culturally diverse city of San Antonio, Texas had distinct advantages for Marc. Living close to Lackland Air Force Base exposed Marc to the racial and cultural diversity of music and traditions. Marc was showered in a wide assortment of musical styles such as Mariachi, Soul, R&B, Folk, Country, English and American Rock, Metal, and Texas Blues. Marc was raised in the 70s when all of these musical styles were being blended by many artist, most notably Willie Nelson and ZZ Top. A pivotal moment in Marcs musical life happened in 76 when he first saw, and then listened to the album, KISS Love Gun. Then in 79, Marc witnessed the spectacle of KISS live, and knew he wanted to be a guitar player. Marc first started his musical journey as a trombone player in the school band. The bass guitar was next, taking a few lessons, then came school choir. But guitar was always on his mind, listening to the great players Page, Hendrix, Frehley, Clapton, Richards, Gibbons, Van Halen, Perry, Vaughn, and Rhoads, only fueled a fire within. In 85 Marc got serious about playing the instrument of his desire, toughening his fingers on an old classical guitar. For his birthday in 86 he got his 1st electric guitar, a black Epiphone Les Paul. Marc plays by ear, and is mostly self taught, only receiving 2 informal lessons. After years of playing in numerous garage and jam bands, the time had come, join a gigging band and quit f***in around! Marc has worked with Nor Cal bands Denial, Flip Side Mary, Denial again!, Freakshow, Turmoil and 4Bolt Main. Marc is currently a guitarist for Stone of Tear and Biting the Dog. Marc is proud to be playing with these two groups of very talented musicians! S.O.T. is currently in pre-production of an awesome demo and is looking to line up some shows this summer! Biting the Dog is also currently writing and recording. Expect Biting the Dog to make some noise this summer as well! Check out both bands with the links below. Keep on Rockin'!!!!!
