Austin born and bred singer-songwriter Marcus Brown is sure to pave the way for some aspiring musicians in todays day and age. Brown has compiled a collection of songs from the past years that reflect a certain time in his life and represent different people, places and events that have helped shape the musician and person that he is today.
Having played music from an early age, this vocalist and entrepreneur is nothing short of exhilarating. The longtime songwriter had no plans for his music until a close friend and record producer Keith Gary insisted that these songs should see the light of day and that lead to the completion of “All The Ghosts Are Gone”.
The debut album, which is set for release in early 2015 will not only display the talent withheld but will take you on a journey through hardship and heartache. It is no surprise that Marcus’ talent is grabbing so much attention, having grown up in a musical family and where piano lessons were par for the course starting in preschool. His ability blossomed during family harmonising car rides, in grade school orchestra and in high school garage bands.
He realised that his proficiency had to be put to use, but it was simply a matter of when and how he was going to take that leap. The fire can be heard in the graceful passion Marcus pours into “All The Ghosts Are Gone” heartstring-tugging, reflective vocals and soaring, dreamy melodies which easily transport the listener to the heartfelt time and place where the magic was created.
The songwriting is buoyed by the exquisite, delicate production and arrangements which paints a rich musical water-colour of tinkling chimes, delicate strings, piano and washes of keyboard that sound wistful and joyful simultaneously.
“All The Ghosts Are Gone” not only sums up a time in Marcus’ life but also tells you a great story which was always destined to be divulged. The enduring wait is finally over and it is time for all music enthusiasts, lovers and listeners to glimpse and unearth Marcus Brown.
