#SuedeDiary September, 24, 2017. Last year on this day, I attended the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum Of African-America History and Culture as a member of the social media awareness team. I covered the opening for @vibemagazine and @blackenterprise It was a humbling experience. I sat at the lunch counter there and considered the evolution of protest in America. It was sobering. Today I attended an event at the University of Virginia to raise awareness for racial equality in America as the social media manager for The Roots. It was inspiring to see music used as a tool for social change and political consciousness. Those in attendance we served awareness in the form of entertainment. I definitely felt the power of positive energy in that football stadium. And I'm sure the bands did too! Like the lunch counters, I felt that I was part of yet another historic moment. Not such a bad way to spend a Sunday. #Apeoplesjourney #NMAAHC #concert4cville #MusicAndUnity #DaveMathews #digital #content #marketing #manager #socialmedia #contentisking #direct #produce #edit #shoot #leica (at University of Virginia)
Marcus Eaton Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson
Live from Florence Italy, singer/songwriter, easy on the eyes and ears, Marcus Eaton, treated us to a mini concert and great conversation. When David Crosby describes you as, "one of the best young singer-songwriters in America - maybe even the world, brilliant musically, brilliant lyrically, and he just plays guitar like God on a good day,” then invites you to tour, record, and co-write with him, and plays on your album… well, it doesn’t get much better than that. And yet, it does. Add to that composing the soundtrack of David Crosby: Remember My Name, and, opening for Bob Dylan, and Dave Matthews, to name two, his own, Versions of The Truth (https://www.marcuseaton.com/music), which Crosby joined him on for some, Invisible Lines, and his new album tentatively titled 'What Is Real' set for release this year.
Marcus started us off with my request of his Better Way, reminiscent of Sting, but oh, so Marcus. We talked about his first trip to Italy, accompanying Roy Mcalister, a renowned luthier, who connected Marcus with his protege, Allessio Guarnieriri, who along with Marcus’ ideas and suggestions created his signature guitar, a masterpiece, the Guarnieri ME. On it, Marcus treated us to his brand new, Something True, Obvious, some crazy in the best way, slap playing, a bow rendition of The Last of the Mohicans, which went viral on TikTok and closed with a smoldering cover of Sting’s Fragile.
There were great stories about growing up in Idaho surrounded by a musically gifted family, getting signed, hitting the road, hungry, literally, a near-miss opportunity in late March 2020 to open for huge heroes, derailed by the pandemic, and finding his soul and his feet in Italy, the land of his heritage, surprising at first glance.
Marcus is an original, one-of-a-kind, take my breath away athletic guitarist, with an evocative voice, and provocative songs––he’s handsome as heck, a gifted fine artist, and well, the whole package is pretty spectacular. I encourage you to Spotify the hell outta him.
I call him "Football." If I had to guess his occupation, well… I've not seen too many singer/songwriters who look quite like this, nor have I heard any who sound like this. Marcus is as easy on the ears, mind, heart & soul as he is on the eyes.
SCORE!

Add to that composing the soundtrack of David Crosby: Remember My Name, and, opening for Bob Dylan, that stuff doesn’t suck neither.

Marcus went viral on TikTok with his rendition of The Last of the Mohicans with a pickaso guitar bow.
Marcus Eaton has shared a cover of The Mandalorian, featuring the bowed guitar sounds of a Pickaso Guitar Bow.
