Join us in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts for a performance by pop/R&B singer-songwriter Marco Alexander.
Marco Alexander is an American pop/R&B singer-songwriter and all-around artist. Born in Memphis, TN, Marco began his study of music at a young age. Marco grew up watching his mother lead the church choir (while sitting next to the organ player so he wouldn’t get into trouble).
Tickets: $10
Doors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm
Growing up in a musical family granted Marco the opportunity to travel and study sounds that were unfamiliar to him, whether it was the sound of beating on pots and pans or listening to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. A versatile musician, Marco has performed with the National Festival Symphony at Carnegie Hall and in musical theater productions, such as Thoroughly Modern Millie, Aida, and Dreamgirls.
Marco received a bachelor’s degree in music education and music performance from the University of Memphis, with a minor in music business. While at the U of M, he studied with John Chiego. Marco has since performed with more than 23 orchestras nationwide and has participated in national soundtrack tours with Disney and Nintendo.
Marco released his debut project entitled Friction in 2016. This is a collection of seven songs that mostly feature direct quotes and activities from his life over the past few years. The songs cover subjects such as love, ambition, breakups, and even loss. Be on the lookout for his debut album to be released in the spring of 2020.
