New Marcus Article on His American Debut
©Kimberly Nicole
Last Thursday, Billings Music Examiner, Kimberly Grewell, wrote an article on Marcus’ American debut in Dallas this past July. She had nothing but high praise for him and the show:
He had yet to play a single note, but his stage presence was so intense, the crowd so overwhelmed, and elated to witness what they believed would be the beginning of something great. Whatever the crowd expected, they had it wrong. There is no way to expect that sort of grace and talent in one musician.
She then goes on to point out one of the reasons that I, too, enjoy in watching Marcus live:
Marcus himself has a great gift for songwriting. His many songs include 14 times, I Don’t Mind, You My Love, Circle in the Square and the list goes on and on. All perfectly written and perfectly played. Perfect in the way that he played them in the moment. They felt new and fresh compared to the versions heard via his MySpace or the YouTube videos we have all grown accustomed to watching as we anxiously awaited his arrival.
This is exactly one of the reasons I became an instant Marcus fan. I had heard his music before his shows in Dallas but nothing compares to actually seeing him perform. Both shows were completely different and that is what I love about live music– seeing an artist take their material and present it in a new way because that is what they are feeling at that moment. It makes each show unique and each album listen conjures up memories of “remember that show when he sang it like this?”

Our First Post on the Shack of Soul!
Marcus, Bobby & Sam
Welcome to the newly created Shack of Soul, a fan site for the fans, by the fans of Bobby Long, Marcus Foster and Sam Bradley. Our idea came after we went to see the guys in Dallas for the first time. We both fell in love and realized these guys needed a fan site where fans could come and just have fun and learn more about the guys. And we want you all to be just as involved. We want to post your pictures, your videos and your stories about the guys!
This site is also meant to be a Twilight/Rob Pattinson light zone. That means that unless there is a direct correlation between the guys and Twi/Rob, then we will not report things like “Rob’s BFF says…” or “Twilight artists…” But, if Rob jumps up on stage to do a duet with Marcus, then we’ll definitely cover that!
We are going to start our new blog with our own introductions and fan encounters, right after the jump!
