Great Review of Marcus’ Concert at Arlene’s Grocery

Looks like Marcus has earned himself another fan with the Examiner.com’s New York Folk Arts Examiner, Kerri Maniscalco. She wrote a great review of his concert and I think summed up his stage presence really well.

He packed such a solid punch with his performance that the crowd looked on in silent awe for a good portion of the show. He is unlike any other musician on stage. Witty and entertaining, he regaled the crowd with excerpts of what occurred on his current tour of the United States. Foster’s voice is a powerful force that leaves you breathless for a minute while you take in the pounding intensity of his finger picking style of guitar playing. While strumming his acoustic guitar soulfully he also hits the side of the instrument like a drum, sending chills through the crowd of eager onlookers. It’s a unique accompaniment, adding dimension to his music.

Definitely a good read, which you can catch in full right here! And much love and thanks to ADeweese for pointing this story out to me.
