Superb vocals...and an excellent production to compliment this song. Rated
April 13 we had our first show at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta. It was Monday after Easter, and there had been big storms all day so half the people had no power. There were not very many people there but the ones who came said they enjoyed the show. There are a couple of videos posted from that night (www.myspace.com/dreamcomusic and www.youtube.com/dreamcomusic ). The following Saturday night (April 18) we played at Trilogy in Marietta to a crowd of about 120. It was a great night and nice to see so many friends, old and new, turn out to support the band. There’s a video from this show on www.youtube.com/dreamcomusic but the sound quality is not so good, there was a lot of ambient noise due to the amount of people in the audience. A top-quality t-shirt by Bay Island Sportswear is now available at www.chrisdemarco.com/store.html and at gigs of course. This is a very soft, “slim fit” design that everyone likes so far. Hope to see you (if you’re local to the Atlanta area) at TASTY WORLD in Athens, GA on Thursday, May 28 (9:30 pm). More gigs will be on the schedule soon!
DJ Bette invited me to be on her show Thursday, February 19 from 4 - 6 PM (EST)! Supporting the troops is important to me (not just because I am a veteran myself) so the opportunity to be on the air with Bette and communicate and share my music with the brave men and women who serve our country was terrific! HOOAH!!!! Radio, the ONLY veteran owned, FREE internet-based radio station Saluting our troops, veterans and their Families. HOOAH!!!! Radio brings another way for families and soldiers to connect with one another, another way for us to salute our men and women of the US Military and Allied Forces being active duty or a veteran, and to act as a source of entertainment, directed towards their interests and personalities. For them, by them and their families. Listen to HOOAH Radio any time on the Internet at http://www.hooahradio.com
True rock aficionados will know Chris DeMarco. Unfortunately most won't. You should. He was a sought-after musician in the 70's and 80's. On his CD Lost and Found he has a who's who of rock artists helping out. It features Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper Band), Tommy Talton (Gregg Allman Band), Ken Mazur (Robert Palmer Band), Barry Richman (Skynyrd), Rhys Clark (Billy Joel) and Jim Fielder (Buffalo Springfield). Back in 1977 Chris was the front-man for Riff Raff. In the day he was an important part of the Hollywood music scene. But he grew tired of the life, and has settled in Atlanta. Lost and Found is a complex mix of the bluesy, "Out of the Blue," the arena-like Journey rock "Can't Go Home Again;" the quirkly story song "Love and Murder" to the sensitive, delicate cadence of "The Quiet of the Rain." I especially liked the slow rocking "It's Inevitable" and the love ballad "When It's Gone." If you like original rock, give Chris a try. You can get the CD from CD Baby or http://www.chrisdemarco.com

Chris DeMarco's most recent self titled release, "Chris DeMarco-The 80's" is an album that re-invents the upbeat classic pop rock music of that era. DeMarco, a seasoned veteran of music who has performed with various well known artists, has decided to debut his works originally recorded in the 1980's. These catchy pop styles are splashed with light lyrics over striking guitar riffs while keyboards add a touch of pop orchestration. DeMarco's vocals are melodic and rich, exhibiting his polished, strong and distinct voice. Note the high harmonies on "The Same Old Way" and also on "One More Shot." They are undoubtedly a staple of '80's pop. Rock-hard drums streaming with solid fills and edgy guitar licks reach well beyond their roots on "The Mirror." If you like music that captures the essence of 80's pop/rock, "Chris DeMarco-The 80's" is a CD well worth listening to. -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
