Marc with a C has been one of Orlando’s best talents for seven years and counting. Soon, he may be considered one of the most innovative.
Marc’s music – described by Marc himself as “sloppy low-fi pop” – is an excellent combination of solid hooks and lyrics that would make even the most jaded listener chuckle, at the very least. Marc is a veteran of the Orlando scene and has gained a sizeable following in that time. Now, with his latest ventures, he may break wide with another audience entirely.
Coming fresh off of his second stint at Nerdapalooza, Marc with a C is set to be an instrumental (no pun intended) part of the play, “Sex Times Three.” The play, written by Larry Stalling and presented by Wallflower Productions, will be held at the GOAT Theatre at 669 Cherry St. in Winter Park, FL on July 31, August 1, 6, 7, and 8 at 8 pm each night. During each show, Marc with a C will play a short opening set, as well as in-between each of the three acts/vignettes that make up the show. There will also be a soundtrack of the show featuring Marc’s music available exclusively at the play.
On becoming a part of this experience, Marc recalls, “[The show’s producers] called me up and asked if they could play recordings of my songs during the show. I told them, ‘I only live a few blocks away, why don’t I come down and just play them myself?’ They seemed surprised; they told me, ‘we didn’t think you’d be interested in doing it.’ I figured, well, either live or on tape, I was going to be a part of the show, anyway. [Laughs] It seemed like something really cool to be a part of.”
Being part of a stage play would seem foreign to some acts and an anathema to others still. Marc, however, has made a year – if not a career – out of breaking new ground. Marc made the decision in March of this year to make his entire discography available on his website for free. Yes, his music can still be purchased through his site, or through iTunes, or through Amazon. But, as he explains it on his website, “...while I have no idea what the future of the music industry holds, I’m not going to stand in the way of how people choose to have and enjoy the songs that I have made up through the years.”
In addition to that and “Sex Times Three”, Marc will also be playing with the Rich Weirdoes cast – those famous for the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” live participation shows at Universal CityWalk’s AMC Cinemas – for a special shows involving the sequel, “Shock Treatment”. Marc will be playing at the movie theater with the Rich Weirdoes on September 4 and 5, October 2 and 3, and October 30. In addition to making an annual tradition out of the Halloween “Rocky Horror” shows there, Marc was also inspirational to the “Shock treatment” shows with his versions of the movie’s songs.
