HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MARC B!
Hello all!
Greetings and Happy Holidays!
It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to many of you. For some, its been years. I am writing to you to inform you and invite you. This is a media update email and invitation to my upcoming shows. It’s also some pictures and stories and links. This email is a lot of things. Written and directed to a lot of people. But please, take this personally. Take it very personally. I have added you to the list because I want you involved. I have sent you this because I want you to read this. I want you to come to my shows. I want you to call me and email me.
I want to keep in touch.
The past year has been a hectic one. I have grown and matured more than ever, and so has my music career. What started as a slow new year, turned into an extremely packed summer full of live performances everywhere from The US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, to Surfrider Benefits in Newport, to opening for the Dirty Heads in Hermosa Beach. Each show exposed me to hundreds of people within the surf industry. I was picked up by a record company out of Santa Barbara, CA called Oniric Records, famous for developing artists like Jack Johnson and such.
I was also officially sponsored by Atwater Clothing from Newport Beach, CA for my music and surfing. Together we’ve been working on promoting my travels and live shows. Their new site, due up in early January, is full of pictures and videos of me surfing and playing live music around the globe.
Both companies have added so much professional knowledge to the management of my music. Oniric Records has assigned me a manager named Brendan Moore who has completely re-vamped my online presence. With the help of these companies I’ve been able to reach thousands of people with my acoustic music.
Well, now it’s time to turn up the volume a bit. I figured since I’ve been playing consistently for more than two years now, its time to form a band. I’ve formed a 4 piece reggae band for your listening pleasure, and we’ll be playing our first two shows (BOTH THURSDAYS IN THE SOUTH BAY).
I’ve attached flyer to both shows (DEC 11th is for my birthday celebration, and its ALL AGES, so I’d love you there!).

In other news, I recently returned home from a surf trip in Costa Rica with my good friend and accomplished artist Matt Demartino. Surf and Ocean company Wetsand.com has been employing me to write blogs weekly about our trip, so you can view all the blogs at http://www.wetsand.com. And search Marc B.

Wetsand.com also added my music to accompany a surf video to commemorate Kelly Slater’s 8th World Title. The direct link to his video with my music can be seen here:

I wanted to end this letter by thanking all of you who have made this year so great. I lived in a few different cities this year, and everywhere I went there were such amazing people who supported me and got me to where I am today. I would not have been able to do this without such people. I love my friends from Newport, Huntington, Long Beach, and Oahu.
Please keep in touch, and stay tuned for plenty more shows with my new band!
Happy Holidays, and I’ll see you this THURSDAY!
Marc B.
