Marcus Trummer - From The Start (2024) [Hi-Res]

A young blood with an old soul, Marcus Trummer marries modern sensibilities with tradition in his distinctive style that encompasses blues, soul, and rock. Dubbed "a precocious guitarist whose vocals possess a wise-beyond-his-years weariness" by the Calgary Herald, the Calgary-born artist is already earning recognition. In 2022, Trummer snagged a nomination for New Artist of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto. The following year, he traveled to Colorado to perform as a finalist in the 2023 Telluride Blues Challenge, which he would go on to win.

Marcus Trummer's debut album, 'From The Start', draws inspiration from the timeless sounds of the 60s and 70s. With his warm and emotive vocals, Trummer pays respect to classic soul singers like Bill Withers and Al Green. Equally featured on the album is Trummer's expressive guitar work, in which he channels the impassioned approach of players like B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix. Packed with raw emotion and honesty, Trummer's songwriting is not to be overlooked. His thoughtful lyrics examine universal subjects of love and coming of age, unpacking experiences that resonate with all listeners.
