Ok so this is a double post about Marques Toliver.
The first is to let you all know he has just released his debut album “Land of CanAan“.
After having a quick listen of it on his sound cloud page. I really like the mixture of sounds and styles that are on this album. Marques seems to have the ability to capture you with his music and beautiful vocals, he then proceeds to take you on a music journey with great use of instruments and change ups and not to forget his song writing. Land of CanAan is very a solid album from start to finish, so good it is the first entry into EARSX Top Albums of 2013.
The Second is the first time I saw him play @jamesblake gig as support back in 2011
For me Marques Toliver started with a track called White Sails. A mate said I’ve got a ticket for James blake wanna come..I’m like ok, not sold on Jame blake’s music at this point (he was awesome by the way)..We get there to catch the support act Marques Toliver totally fresh music to my ears which I always love.
So happy that i got to witness seeing this guy solo on stage huge glass of red wine and a violin..It was truly amazing the emotion and passion that he delivers thought his music is “MIND BLOWING”
VIDEO: about 1:45sec, no mic just man and violin!!
