MARCUS MACHADO in ROLLING STONE Magazine- Young Guns Winner

WHO: Marcus Machado wasn’t born with a guitar in his crib, but at age two, when other kids were learning to walk and speak, he began strumming on his family’s acoustics. He moved to electric at age four, influenced early on by both his father’s favorite rock acts (Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin) and his mother’s favorite jazz and disco (John Coltrane and Earth, Wind and Fire). Now 30, Machado has mastered a soulful, jazzy sound that’s both exploratory and accessible, and the joyous looks he gives while performing show how much he enjoys taking his audience through unexpected turns. A longtime sideman and collaborator for R&B artists like the Family Stand and the Weather Report’s Victor Bailey, Machado is prepping to move out on his own, with a new EP, Find My Way, set for release in mid-2015.
