Marc Von Em is a one man band of sorts, able to create an impressive array of music with just his voice and one faithful guitar. His chops are wide-ranging from delicate finger picking to raw, rambunctious strumming. Marc's guitar serves as more than one instrument as he uses it to create percussive beats and atmospheric sounds. His dynamic voice can go from smooth & soaring to smoky scatting. Marc's harmonica playing is equally impressive, and he sometimes uses it to accompany his blues influenced original songs. His soulful live performances showcase his original music, influenced by folk, funk and blues, with a few choice cover songs woven in. As one reviewer wrote: "If you haven't seen Marc Von Em perform live you're only cheating yourself."
Marc performs mostly solo, showcasing his original music on guitar with occasional looping, harmonica and other instrumentation added in. He has independently released five full length recordings and has toured the U.S. both as a headliner and supporting act promoting his catalog. In early 2022 Marc released his latest recording “Goodbye, Cloudy Sky” which he is presently showcasing at venues throughout the Northeast.
In addition to writing and performing as an indy artist, Marc is proud to have shared the stage with Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20) as back up vocalist and guitarist on three world tours. He is currently signed to Pure Pop Music Publishing Inc. as a songwriter for current & up and coming musical acts, VAMNation Entertainment Management, as a vocalist on globally broadcast commercials, and HAUS Music NYC, collaborating with musicians, composers, producers, bands & publishers scoring soundtracks for movie and commercial use.
“"I've had the pleasure of working closely with Marc Von Em as a singer, but when I heard his original stuff I asked him to open up a 10,000 seat gig. Just him, his guitar, and his songs. He killed it!" ” - Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20)
