Steve Marc

Story

Steve Marc sings songs from the heart about love, loss, the good, the bad and the ugly in the world. The messages are usually heart felt to inspire hope and positivity. The former upright bassist from Barefoot Caravan, shares fresh arrangements from his original works of his former band, a slew of new tunes and some covers of friends with the odd oldie in the mix. Steve toys with time as he stretches the boundaries of the singer-songwriter world with a variety of genres wound into one in his own unique style.
