Marc Blackwell Bio

Chicago, Illinois, USA is Marc's home. As a boy, his parents filled his young ears with country music while his older brother introduced him to rock. He has worked as a lifeguard, a delivery truck driver, a cook and a blue collar machinist. All the while he played in various bands until he finally hit on a successful gig and toured the Midwest for 11 years with Mike & Joe.

He has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some great bands like The Samples, Violent Femmes, Kid Rock, Freddy Jones Band, Big Wreck, The Why Store and Vertical Horizon. In 2005, he left the band to pursue his own music.

All this has culminated in his 2010 debut CD, "Bring Me Trouble" and quite a bit of his music playing on TV.
