He was with Doug and the Slugs and Nick Gilder before that. He also plays keyboards and sings with Stone Poets, recording their 5th album currently with Marc producing alongside West Coast Engineer of the year, Sheldon Zaharko. He’s the West Coast Director with the Canadian Musicians Coalition; a director at Pacific Northwest Radio and the writer/producer of the radio podcast. Nominated 4 years in a row for the BCCMA Keyboardist of the Year, he’s a sought after session player for recording and live performances. Marc’s rate is $35.00 per half hour lesson.
