Artist / Band

Details

Hailing from Detroit Michigan, Blues guitarist Marcus Malone was initially coveted by Motown records - working on demos with some of the biggest names in the business - before being moved to LA by Ike Turner’s management team and signing with United Artists Records. Growing up in Detroit meant he was always open to musical diversity, hanging out the MC5 and opening for Bog Seger and Iggy Pop, but it was his passion for rocking Blues that led him to Europe.

He quickly made an impact by opening for BB King at the Albert Hall and he hit the Euro festival circuit in support of a brace of British label rock/Blues solo albums. Ironically for an exiled American musician, it led to one of his songs ‘One More Time’ appearing on the celebrated 'Blueprint - Best of British Blues' album.

Comparisons with Paul Rodgers are merited for a supreme vocal stylist who is equally at home singing blues/rock as he is soulfully phrasing heartfelt lyrics. Marcus’ well deserved critical recognition has resulted in nominations for 2017 European Blues awards for 'Best Vocalist' and 'Best Album' in addition to a nomination by the UK Blues Awards 2018 for 'Best Male Vocalist'.
