In This Town, We All Walk at the Same Pace

On Friday, April 5th, Marcus Foster will be playing his first ever show in Alabama at WorkPlay Theater.

Marcus is an amazingly talented individual. He was born and raised in southwest London where he was able to explore not only his musical talents, but his sculpture talent. Marcus attended college at Chelsea College of Art, and then pursued his MA at the Royal College of Art. He was moonlighting as a musician at the local bars and clubs around London. Marcus' sculptures have been shown in Italy and Greece.

However, after he helped co-write a song that was featured on the Twilight soundtrack in 2008, he gained a large following across the states and Europe. Marcus is an amazingly talented musician and is so entertaining to watch on stage.

I was able to see Marcus play live in September 2012 for the first time. It was just him and his keyboard player, Jack Standen, and I was completely blown away. I have enjoyed Marcus' unique sound for about a year and a half now and being able to see him preform live was amazing.

Marcus' tour across the US has gotten fantastic reviews from so many people. One girl posted on Facebook, after seeing him in Minnesota, "My favorite part of my Marcus Foster experience here in Minneapolis was the sound check session and having Marcus come over to each table afterwards to say hi and give us posters." Marcus has made VIP tickets available for all of his shows. With a VIP ticket you receive the following: entrance into the sound check, meet and greet with Marcus Foster, a VIP lanyard, and an exclusive photo signed by Marcus. 

VIP tickets are $60, but it sounds like it's totally worth it. I myself have bought two VIP tickets, one for me and one for my younger sister. However, general admission tickets are $12 in advance and $14 at the door. 

This isn't a concert you'll want to miss. Marcus Foster is such a sweet guy and his music is amazing. His opening acts include Ruston Kelly and The Lone Bellow. Both are amazing and will be worth attending to hear as well. 

To order your tickets to see Marcus Foster, Ruston Kelly, and The Lone Bellow, you need to go here.
