Missing Marcus

Missing Marcus, a quintet that blends a pop/rock sensibility with folk and traditional roots and blues music, produces a sound that is both original and familiar. At the heart of the band are its founding members: drummer Lin Loparco and guitarist/vocalist Aaron Kaufman. Both provide the band's upbeat and comfortable signature sound. The additions of Jessica Flood's lead vocals, Erik Frank's bass, and Stefan Roesch's lead electric guitar have fleshed out their sound and brought a degree of musical versatility that many pop bands lack

With lyrics that demonstrate sincerity and genuine craft, the band delivers tunes that range from emotional introspection to carousing drinking songs. As a group, they seem equally at home in energetic radio-friendly pop and darker, more complex blues/rock pieces. Throughout their work, they embrace a startlingly raw emotional honesty that firmly grounds their flights of fancy in musical integrity.

Missing Marcus has an engaging onstage presence that is vivacious and playful with one another and the audience, which makes their live performance an experience not to be missed. They have succeeded in creating their own musical niche but are constantly working to expand beyond it. This continuing drive to grow as musicians and performers makes them a band to watch.
