Details:
Marco Joachim is one of the new generation folk singers. Often referred to as the "NY Troubadour". Marco developed quite a cult status in the last 2 years. From the cobblestone streets and the coffee house music circuit based in Greenwich Village Marco interjected rock and pop elements to acoustic folk, drawing new listeners to The Baggot Inn on Sullivan Street. He writes original songs and is well-versed in traditional folk songs and Blues. Marco is from NYC and plays solo acoustic guitar (Gibson J-100, last of the flat tops) with his trusty harmonica.
Marco''s new CD, "Changing Times" was just released. It is produced by Joe Mardin (arranger and producer for Jewel, Chaka Kahn, Bette Midler, etc..). The CD is comprised of original songs and new arrangements of folk songs and some blues. His original songs feature strong melodies and hooks with poetic and sometimes dreamy and poignant lyrics. His melodic singing voice can cut through the iciest heart, yet he also can belt out a powerful, soulful blues.
His influences are Folk, blues as well as Woody Guthrie, Ramblin'' Jack Elliot, The Beatles and Bob Dylan, Jesse Fuller, Sonny Boy Williamson, as well as most 60''s groups. His dynamic finger picking and strumming and wide range as a singer make his shows a special experience. His irreverent humor and sometimes-sardonic wit is often heard between songs.
Ramblin'' Jack said of Marco "I like his singing and especially his guitar picking...Amazing."
Marco comes from a musical family. His cousins Jack Elliot (Grammy Award Winner) and Sonny James (20 consecutive Number 1 Country hits) the Country singer.
Marco recently opened for B.B. King in Topeka, Kansas at the Topeka Performing Arts Center in front of Two Thousand plus and thrilled the audience.
"New York singer-songwriter Marco Joachim then offered his jingle-jangle, Dylanesque brand of acoustic blues, accompanying himself with a mix of flat picking and finger-style guitar playing he calls"slickin" Joachim mixed in his own material, including a very folksy ballad, "Chaplinesque," which won for him the Woody Guthrie Award for best song. Then it was almost time for the king of Blues.."
By Bill Blankenship, The Topeka Capital Journal.
In 1999 he won the Woody Guthrie Songwriter Award for his composition "Chaplinesque".
Marco''s favorite Woody Guthrie quote is
"I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself" Woody Guthrie
Marco played at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. as part of the American Foklore Concert Series. You can view his performance from his official website https://www.tradebit.com
Marco mostly plays in NYC at The Baggot Inn off Bleeker Street and The Triad Lounge at 72nd street, CB''s Gallery, Iggy''s, Bean. as well as the East Coast College circuit. He and can be heard on numerous radio stations across America.
Marco is great at singing and playing. He has been called a natural for his inherent musical ability and as a folksinger his tuneful singing, ingratiating personality and showmanship have earned him a legion of fans.
