Merry Holidays!

Hey folks…

Wishing you all a great holiday! Thanks to all those who have sent personal notes on Facebook & Twitter and to my email account! Your kind words are much appreciated! THANK YOU!

This set of photos encompasses my last seven days. On Friday I flew to Germany to play a Christmas concert for German TV called “Weinachten mit dem Bundespräsidenten”. This happened in the very church where Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation with his 95 Theses. Pretty cool. It was a wonderful trip and once again fun to play with DG on the classical guitar! This show airs in Germany on Christmas Eve on ZDF.

(This week German TV I’m on a few Christmas shows backing up DG. Today I was sent a pic of me singing “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” with Jan Fedder for his Christmas special. It’s included in these photos…. Fun time!)

Fast forward 24hrs after the German concert, I was back in NYC and completely consumed with preparation and recording again for my next MW cd. So get ready folks… More music to come! My good friend and songwriter Matthew Kelley and I have collaborated on this next cd. I’m recording all his songs for this one! The songs have become OURS and it has been a great communal effort… Songs of positive energy and light!

The same great team from the MIRROR cd is with me again. Adrian Harpham on drums, Jonathan Maron on bass and Phil Nicolo recording and mixing.

I’m really looking forward to this project so stay tuned!

Have a great Holiday Season folks and I will see you all on the road!!

Big Love

Marcus

classical duo videos

Last week I performed with David Garrett playing selections from his new LEGACY cd which was just released last week in Germany. The cd features all orchestral arrangements with David as the soloist.

I took these arrangements and wrote arrangements for solo guitar to cover the orchestra parts. It was the first time in quite a while that I got to use my classical skills and I loved it! It was also really fun for me because I got to use my new classical guitar for the first time… And it is a masterpiece! We did many shows last week and some will be airing in Germany at a later date.

I do have two videos that have already been posted on my FaceBook page from fans etc, but I want to have them on this site also! Thanks for listening!

German TV shows

Hey folks,

I’m playing a few TV shows this week in Germany with David Garrett in support of his new upcoming classical CD. I’m really looking froward to the shows because we are playing as a classical duo. I transcribed a number of pieces from David’s new LEGACY CD for this week. So instead of David and orchestra it’s David & guitar. Will be fun. I’m not sure of the airing times for these shows…. Tune in if U can!

Cheers,

MW

Hey folks, this is the official video from yesterday’s show with David Garrett on Regis & Kelly. It was a fun time and a busy week of playing Dancing With The Stars in LA, then flying straight to NYC to be on the show yesterday.

The shirt I wore on Regis & Kelly is Everybody’s Brother… It’s to bring awareness to the cause of aiding my good friend Kim Kennedy. Kim is the photographer for my MIRROR cd. He’s been fighting cancer for the last year and a half… His family needs support at this tough time. Any donations will be greatly appreciated!
