More on Marcus. If you haven't already checked him out you really should:

http://www.marcuseaton.com/

His new album is streaming on his website. You can open the website and shrink it and listen to the new album from Marcus "Story of Now" while you work or read. "Story of Now" features Derico Watson (Victor Wooten Band) on drums, Garrett Sayers(The Motet) on Bass and Kyle Aho from Boston, MA on keys. Grammy Award Nominated Vic Anesini mastered the CD at Sony Studios. Here is a review:
The Graham Weekly Album Review #1479
Marcus Eaton: Story of Now
by George Graham
(independent release As broadcast on WVIA-FM 4/4/2007)
The music world is rife with "one-album wonders" -- performers and bands
who release one brilliant recording and then are not heard from again,
either because the band broke up or because they were dropped by their
record label. This sort of thing happens a lot more these days, since
most of the major labels will drop an artist from their roster if they
don't sell hundreds of thousands of copies of their first album almost
immediately, and that's a shame. But at the same time, the ease with
which independent recordings can be made and sold by means of the
Internet, means that losing one's label contract does not mean the end
of making records.

But even with that possibility, almost every serious music fan has his
or her own favorite one or two album wonders, who have largely
disappeared from the recording scene.

In 2003, I reviewed for this series a recording by a superb, musically
sophisticated acoustic rock band from Idaho called Marcus Eaton and the
Lobby. I was beginning to think this was going to be one of those
flashes in the pan. Fortunately, now four years later, Marcus Eaton is
back with a new CD, minus the Lobby, but with musical quality even
higher. Eaton's solo recording is called Story of Now.

Marcus Eaton grew up in Pocatello, Idaho. The son of a guitarist and
songwriter, he naturally gravitated toward music, taking up guitar at
age nine. He formed a band called E.S.P. with a drummer named Nate
Keezer in high school in 1996. Eaton continued playing in bands while
attending Idaho State University in Boise. The band which came to be
known as the Lobby also featured a prominent sax, and was initially a
kind of jam band, who did what they did out of necessity: without a
great number of compositions to play, they jammed on each one for a
long time. They released a couple of independent CDs before issuing The
Day the World Awoke, which spotlighted the band's creative, musically
complex compositions, almost all by Eaton, along with Eaton's pleasing
tenor voice and impressive acoustic guitar work, which could sometimes
hint at Latin American and flamenco styles.

Now, four years later, the Lobby has apparently gone their separate
ways, and the 26-year-old Eaton spent some 40 days in the studio in
Boise to bring to realization his new songs. Derico Watson, who plays
in Flecktone Victor Wooten's band was brought in to play drums on some
tracks, while Tony Sereduk plays on three other pieces. Garrett Sayers
is heard on bass, and Kyle Aho is featured on piano. While the sonic
emphasis of Eaton's music remains acoustic, he does play some electric
guitar and there are some tracks that include the electronic rhythms of
contemporary pop music, but the result is anything but conventional. I
suppose that if you wanted one of those glib rock-critic capsule
catch-phrases, one could call this "acoustic art rock singer-songwriter
music."

Eaton's lyrics are intelligent and generally optimistic, though they do
largely center around the perennial subject of love and its
permeations. Musically, Eaton's writing is intricate and sophisticated,
yet very appealing, despite the majority of the tracks being in
unconventional meters, with five, seven and even 13-beat rhythms. Eaton
is one of a relative few who, like Sting, who can create music that is
this complex and yet make it sound easy and natural. Before recording
the album, Eaton also spent some time with a vocal coach, and his
already appealing vocals are stronger than before, an airy tenor who
can impart a good deal of energy when he wants to.

While Eaton's vocals and guitar dominated the sound of the Lobby band,
this CD lacks the sax and flute that were prominent in that group. It's
mainly Eaton himself this time on the various guitars that are the basis
of the sound. Some tracks run toward the more acoustic and with lighter
or absent drums, while others can rock out.

Leading off is one of the rockers, Candle to the Sun. It's one of
Eaton's generally optimistic love songs. The piece is typical of his
almost art-rock composing style with complex shifts of meter and
effective use of dynamics with the contrast between acoustic and
electric sections.

On the Lobby album Eaton showed some reggae influence, and on the title
track of this CD Story of Now, a hint of reggae figures into the
elaborate arrangement. It's another appealing and quite musically
interesting piece.

Four years ago on the Lobby album, one of the more interesting
influences that turned up was Latin American rhythms, and even
Spanish-style guitar. Story of Now also draws on that source on the
track Victims of What Is Available, which also features some oblique
social commentary. The piece is one of the highlights of a uniformly
outstanding album.

Eaton's tendency toward rhythmic complexity is evident on several
tracks. In fact there is very little in a conventional rock or folk
meter on Story of Now. A song called Drug, which compares love to
chemical addiction, rocks along in seven without sounding too abstruse.

As mentioned, Sting is also known for creating songs in unconventional
rhythms. Eaton's song Disposable shows some definite influence from
Sting's old band The Police.

Somewhat more laid-back in sound, with more of a singer-songwriter style
is Road to Home. Lyrically, Eaton continues his optimistic direction.

Another of the album's most impressive tracks is Burn It Down, which
features mainly just Eaton's acoustic guitars accompanying his words of
lost love. He again draws on Latin influence, but in a rather
un-Latin-like 13-beat meter on the verses.

Also quite appealing, though with a somewhat less rosy outlook, is Four
Seasons Turn to Rain. Eaton features a little sitar on the track, as he
does from time to time elsewhere on the CD.

On Story of Now, Marcus Eaton, a still quite young Idahoan, has created
a really outstanding album that surpasses the excellent recording by
his band The Lobby four years ago. He creates music that is outwardly
appealing, but is full of classy, high-level musical ingredients that
would likely endear this recording to art rock and even jazz fans, with
his rhythmic and harmonic sophistication. And this CD could also come
across as a singer-songwriter recording with its often acoustic sound
and thoughtful lyrics. It has been a long time since the Eaton's last
recording, and once he started, he spent a long time making this CD.
But his labor definitely paid off, with every track on the CD having a
lot to offer.

Sonically, we'll give the CD a grade "A." The mix is first-rate,
skillfully blending the acoustic and the electric, Eaton's vocal is
generally well-recorded, and the dynamic range of the recording, which
was a problem on the last CD by the Lobby, is much improved, allowing
the volume to be soft when the music calls for it.

Marcus Eaton has been looking for a record label to distribute his CD.
For now, he is making it available in limited numbers on his website.
It's definitely worth seeking out. A recording that maintains such a
high musical level and that's so downright likable is rare indeed.

Tim Reynolds played a show in Wilkes Barre, PA at River Street Jazz. I passed off a copy of Marcus Eaton "Story of Now" to the promoter/owner for him to check out. He was so impressed with the CD that when Marcus came out to NYC for a showcase on Nov 2nd, 2006, he booked Marcus for a gig at River Street Jazz as well site unseen. Following Marcus' performance in Wilkes Barre, PA he spent 5 weeks as the Number 1 requested artist on WVIA-FM and remains in the "Top 20" all these months later.

Speaking of Tim Reynolds, Marcus has done a number of TouRs with TR and they always close the show with Marcus joining TR onstage for the encore to play one of TR's songs together. Not alot of folks can keep up with TR on the acoustic guitar but Marcus does. Here is a version of Marcus covering TR's "Stream":

Marcus is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. His song Story Of Now could be on the radio (not sure if that's a GOOD thing or not) but it has a great hook and is very memorable the first time you hear it.

I saw him open for Tim at a show in Des Moines and Marcus uses a number of guitar effects, including a Boss Loop Station to create layered performances that totally blow the audience away. Seeing Marcus perform inspired me like I haven't been inspired by someone in a long time. Here's a link to Marcus playing the aforementioned Story of Now using those pedals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw3KTI--hfU

And as far as him jamming with TR, anyone who can go toe to toe with Tim on a Tim original has my utmost respect!

Story of Now
Marcus Eaton is destined for stardom
by Amy Atkins

When I got to the coffee shop where Marcus Eaton and I had agreed to meet at for an interview, I realized that I didn't know what he looked like. I ordered a latte, and, with pen nd reporter's notebook in hand, I sat down and waited. Each time the door opened, I looked up expectantly. I had not met Eaton before and I had only an e-mailed photo as reference. Several men who walked into the coffee shop looked a little nervous as they got a raised-eyebrow "are you the guy I'm waiting for?" gaze from me. When Eaton did arrive, I knew it had to be him because, one, someone had told me he was quite handsome, and, two, the guy walking in the door gave me the same look I'd been giving everyone else.

Eaton's easy smile, short, wavy blonde hair, cool glasses and casual attire give him a boy-next-door appearance. But on closer inspection, the carefree boy-next-door looked like a tired grown-up. Understandable, as he just finished work on his latest opus, Story of Now.

Story of Now is scheduled for a spring 2006 release. It's an hour of emotional, engaging and complicated music. He spent six months at the Tonic Room Studios working on the album--three recording it and three perfecting it. As the first full-length album for both the studio and Eaton as a solo artist, it was important on every level that this project be as close to perfect as possible. To achieve that, Eaton followed what he believes to be one of the most important rules in music: recognize talent. On this album he made sure to surround himself with musicians, producers and managers as dedicated to the process as he was. He even had the CD mastered by Grammy Award-winner Vic Anesini. From the first notes on the first track of the CD, it is clear that the production value of each song is as important as each performance.

No song on the CD is less than four minutes long and several contain complex time signatures. The songs blur genres lines right out of existence with a multitude of instrumentation and thoughtful, thought-provoking lyrics. "Burn It Down" has Latin beats, surprising and elegant chord changes, and Eaton's signature lyrical content. "Victims of What's Available" has a dizzying range of percussion, much of which Eaton performed himself. His songs have layers upon layers of sound and have a fullness often lacking in modern pop music. Every note and beat is sharply defined and exactly where Eaton wants it. His best instrument, his voice, is perfectly tuned and is somehow raw and refined at the same time.

As hard as Eaton worked to maintain his artistic integrity, he still (intentionally) created a commercial product. He's no dummy: He knows that to be a successful, professional musician his album has to sell. To sell the album, people have to hear it. To hear it, people have to know about it, which is why as he shops around for the right label, good promotion and touring support has to be part of the deal. Fortunately, he loves playing and touring so the more live performance dates a label can arrange, the better. And, unlike many musicians, there's not a disappointing difference between his live and recorded performances. With Eaton, what you hear is what you get whether it's from a CD in your car stereo, live on a small stage or from across a huge arena. And it's always good.

On January 12, the Egyptian Theatre premiered the locally produced film, Autumn Angel. Making it a full night of performance, Eaton was slated to play before the movie began. There were some obvious technical difficulties, and most of the crowd had come out to see the film and were not shy about voicing their disappointment about sitting through Eaton's performance. People talked and milled around while he was on stage. Some loud-mouth even screamed "Start the movie!" Eaton had to start and stop and re-start several songs. But, when everything was finally in place and he began to play, it was beautiful. Watching Eaton play is poetry in motion. Even loud-mouth mellowed out. Eaton has an uncanny sense of timing, plays a mean guitar and boy, has he got a set of pipes.

At 25 (yes, he's only 25), Eaton has a worldliness about him that belies his young age. He has been playing guitar since he was 9 and shows no signs of stopping. He has seen his share of success (with his band, The Lobby, and with a live solo CD), but Story of Now may just be Eaton's ticket to the big time. He better get rested up, though, because once the CD hits the shelves, there's going to be little time for sleep.

Here is this mornings email from Marcus Eaton's email list:
Hello everyone!

The past few months have been a whirlwind and I've hardly had any opportunity to catch up with all of you.

I had a great time at NAMM representing Baden Guitars. It was a funny first moment when I showed up and saw the larger-than-life banner of me with one of the guitars! I will post a picture of it soon. Thanks to everyone at Baden and Fishman for their continued support.

The latest and greatest news is something that has taken me quite some time to put together. I am so damn thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge this weekend for sidestage performances! I will be playing a full set each night; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday prior to the mainstage performances. You must be ticketed for the DMB show to attend my sets. Performance times have yet to be announced...watch my website or MySpace page for details.

Friday Aug.31 thru Sunday Sept.2
The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA...exits 143 or 149 off I-90

I hope to see you all there!!

EATON PLAYS THE GORGE

Boise native Marcus Eaton will be shaking off some serious nerves this weekend before he performs at The Gorge in George, Washington. Yep, that's the amphitheater perched right on the edge of the Columbia River Gorge that seats a crowd of 20,000. Eaton will open for Robert Randolph and the Family Band and headliner Dave Matthews Band at all three shows August 31, September 1 and September 2.

After re-locating to Seattle last year and palling around with frequent DMB guest Tim Reynolds, Eaton was picked up to play a full set each night of the show on the amphitheater's sidestage.

To see Eaton, fans must have tickets for the DMB show, which is sold out on Saturday. Staff writer Rachael Daigle will be at the show. Expect a full report on Eaton's performance when she returns. For more information on Marcus Eaton, visit MarcusEaton.com.

Hello Everyone,

Some of you may remember Marcus playing on the sidestage at the Gorge during the DMB run this past year, some of you may have caught him on the road opening for Tim Reynolds, and some of you may not know him at all - but you will. : )

He has a new band (a trio) that sounds fantastic and is busy touring already, playing lots of new material.

Marcus' CD, Story of Now, was chosen as the "#1 CD of 2007" by George Graham! And he was up against some heavy hitters like Joni Mitchell, Bruce Hornsby, Norah Jones and many others. You can read the review, listen to the broadcast and more at www.georgegraham.com (http://www.georgegraham.com).

I'm glad I saw this forum about Marcus. I first heard of Marcus a few years ago when Tim Reynolds was playing the Coach House in CA. As a big DMB fan, and even bigger D&T fan, it's always good to see Tim play at small venues. Just before Tim came on stage, Marcus came up to play about 6 or 7 songs. Immediately, and I mean immediately, he caught my attention. Maybe it's b/c I too play the acoustic guitar, or b/c of the awesome beats he was looping, or his voice, but the guy was just amazing. He seriously made one man and a guitar sound like a full band it was awesome. He's just as a fast as Tim, but can sing amazing as well. He's going places! Keep up the good work kitty!

THE GORGE!

IT WAS SO GOOD to see so many of you at the Gorge shows and connect in
person. The band played three days of solid sets and had a blast. The
music was spectacular! Full-band versions of so many great Marcus
songs old and new, with James bringing badass solid bass and Kevin
bringing massive mojo to the stage. Marcus killed on the electric
guitar - so much fun to watch him play. The venue, the sound system,
Mark behind the sound board - it was perfect. We danced and grooved
and the band made lots of new fans. The band is so at home playing big
outdoor venues, and they filled the space with a lush layered sound
that was super-tight.

On Friday, Marcus played a beautiful version of Fiona solo acoustic.
At about 6:30, Tim came up the hill, took the stage and the band
rocked their way through one of Tim's songs, Indoctrinate, the
Beatles' Come Together, and a few other tunes. Everyone went crazy.
The show was electric and we were all satiated!

Saturday's set was fantastic! You can download it here [http://www.archive.org/details/me2008-08-30.mk4.flac16]
thanks to taper Jon Koch. Here is a video of the band with Tim
sitting in on Come Together [http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=42015856]
from the Saturday show.

On Sunday, the band started their set and got about two songs in
before the rain and wind started. After about a 40 minute break, the
sun came out, and they finished the third day with a killer killer set
that included a phenomenal drum solo on Figure Her Out, and James
brought out a sick bass solo on You Can't Close Your Eyes. The crowd
was wonderful!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped us out with everything from handing
out flyers to taking photos to making lunch. We want to personally
thank Mark, Fluffy, Satu, Rob, Tracy, Lindsay, Annie, Jon, Josh,
Shelby, and Sarah for their efforts. You guys rock! And also big love
and thanks to Tim and Kathleen for all your amazing support.

Eh, I saw the trio at Gorge N2, and they were okay, nothing special, IMO. There was one song though that they played and it was really good... I can't quite remember, but it was named after a girl I think.

Fiona?

Yeah, I don't really dig him him as much w/ the trio as I do solo. I don't think the other musicians are adding enough to the music, IMO. Maybe, with time, it'll improve :thumbsup

My first experience with Marcus Eaton was a bit out of the norm. I had, as many other fans of Dave Matthews were doing at the time, joined the social networking forum “Twitter” to read the updates Dave was posting.
Toward the latter part of 2008, I had made my own post regarding the fact that I was going to be purchasing a Taylor guitar. One of the responses I received back was from a fellow Twitter with the user name of @marcuseaton. Marcus suggested that I should look into Baden guitars, and proceeded to tell me some of the selling features of the Baden’s over the Taylor I was looking at.
Through our conversations online, we struck up a friendship, and I took the opportunity to visit his web page to hear a sampling of his music.
I was floored.
In the months that followed, I went and saw the Marcus Eaton Trio open for Tim Reynolds (of DMB) at one of Seattle’s more popular venues, the Tractor. The spectacle of seeing Marcus and his group play live only deeper established in my mind the fact that Marcus’ music needs to be experienced on larger stages.
At Marcus’ generous invitation, my son and I travelled to Boise in April of last year, and were fortunate to spend a weekend with Marcus in his home city of Boise. It was a remarkable opportunity, which provided us some amazing insight into Marcus’ talent, and a chance to watch his playing up close.
Since then, I have been to six of Marcus’ other performances, ranging from two house parties (one of which my wife and I were fortunate enough to host) club performances, and his shows on the side stage at the Gorge, prior to the concerts by the Dave Matthews Band in September of 2009.
Marcus was joined on stage by Tim Reynolds , Jeff Coffin (from DMB) as well as members of G Love for a few of his numbers on the Sunday eve show. This “jam session” was, simply put, amazing. By the finale, Marcus song “Drug” off his Story of Now cd, a throng of people had been captivated.
Marcus’ style is an interesting mix of styles. He primarily plays his music on an acoustic guitar, but “acoustic” is an unfair label to place on his stylings, as the way he plays is certainly outside the realm of what you would expect. His music, while definitely falling under the category of “rock”, manages to take the best of pop, reggae, folk, flamenco & jazz, and combine it into perhaps one of the most agreeable and cohesive blend. His style melds lead & rhythm guitar work, and manages to fluidly make it all come together.
His music and writing is captivating, and he plays with a passion that I have rarely scene from even the most established artists, let alone someone who is in the beginning stages of his career.
With each performance I have attended, I am always amazed at the look on people’s faces, the conversations I hear once Marcus leaves the stage. The words “unbelievable”, “amazing”, “blown away” & “incredible” are often floated about. I have brought people to his shows who entered the venue being skeptical, yet exited grinning from ear to ear, with a handful of Marcus’ CDs.
As his friend, I would love to see his career move to the next level. As a fan, I can say it would be a remarkable shame if it didn’t. We would love to see Marcus play the main stage at the Gorge, opening for Dave Matthews Band , but think that the appeal of his music shouldn’t simply be limited to that “one gig.”

Marcus and Kevin played to a sold out crowd at the Roxy in Kennewick WA last night. It was such a treat to see these guys again. They'll be on a west coast tour with Tim Reynolds in early April; if you live in CA/OR/WA check out tour dates at www.marcuseaton.com
