How I got to know
Marcus Eaton Trio
A while ago I got introduced to a musician called Marcus Eaton, by my good friend David ‘PonyMAN’ Buchholz, and what a surprise I got... It was some incredible music I heard, really breathtaking - What a talented musician, and my only thought was, that I needed to hear MORE... and MORE led to MORE
A fan was born!
I began talking with my friend David about it, and began to talk with Marcus Eaton as well... and before long I was involved in administrating two fan pages, together with my friend David - Two fan pages about Marcus and Marcus Eaton Trio; with the purpose to spread the knowledge about the music, to make them more known in this beautiful world.
I had the joy of watching, listening to and meet the band members at the Gorge this summer, and I must say that I really had a blast (they played a private concert the night before the Gorge, where I also attended). My primary reference, when it comes to music, is Dave Matthews Band... But I must admit, that Marcus Eaton, and Marcus Eaton Trio, now is in a clear 2nd place
To see a streaming of a VERY intimate concert with Marcus Eaton, which he held in a living room in Seattle,Go here - You will have to create an account to watch, but it is worth it... 2½ hours of PURE YOY!!!
I am absolutely sure, that you will NOT be disappointed... that you will be captured - Just like me!

MARCUS EATON'S lyrics often reflect the natural beauty that surrounded him growing up on top of a mountain in rural Idaho, but the level of talent of this self-taught musician is world-class.
Incorporating rock, reggae, flamenco, classical, jazz and folk, his mastery is recognized by fans and musicians wherever he plays.
Marcus has been warmly received by Baden Guitars, Fishman, Mesa Boogie, TC Electronics, Sennheiser and Radial, and has played shows with an array of acts including Jewel, Bob Dylan, Train, Victor Wooten, Buckethead, Tim Reynolds & TR3, Dave Matthews Band, Derek Trucks Band, Martin Sexton, Blues Traveler, John Mayer, Counting Crows, Edwin McCain, Ozomatli, Young Dubliners, Michael Franti & Spearhead, New Monsoon, Jason Mraz, Collective Soul, Sheryl Crow, Guster, Ben Taylor Band, Nils Lofgren, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Gin Blossoms, Jake Shimabukuro and Blackalicious.
Marcus tours nationally, performing solo and with the Marcus Eaton Trio. The trio consists of drummer Kevin Rogers - an extremely versatile player who incorporates odd meter, polyrhythms and deep pocket grooves with a composer's ear that has a unique sensitivity for the song. Kevin's musicianship has taken the band to completely new reaches.
Renowned bassist Garrett Sayers (The Motet, Dwele, Kyle Hollinsworth), who first appeared on Marcus' 2006 release, Story of Now, rounds out the live trio with his amazing chops and impeccable time.
"MARCUS EATON plays the acoustic, but not like you might expect. He rapidly shifts between frantic fingerpicking and strumming, clean acoustic sounds and swirling, looped effects. His music fits firmly in the post-modern musical relativism that has become the norm among a new generation of musicians – viewing genre distinctions not as absolutes but as starting points . . ." Adam Moore, Premier Guitar Magazine.
"One of the best performances we've had in our studio. A superstar in the making." Mark & Brian of the syndicated Mark & Brian morning show, KLOS-FM Los Angeles.
"Marcus weaves a tapestry rich in musical depth and soulful feeling. Sweet impassioned spot-on singing round out this total package of dynamite." Tim Reynolds.
"A singer, songwriter and guitarist to be reckoned with on a national scale." Michael Deeds, Idaho Statesman.
Eaton is one of a relative few who, like Sting, can create music that is this complex and yet make it sound easy and natural." George Graham, The Graham Weekly Album Review.
"Marcus Eaton is the real deal. His music resonates long after the song is over." TJ Baden, Baden Guitars.
