Marco Catracchia
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Marco began playing guitar at the age of 12. The first song he wrote was played on the radio when he was in the 8th grade and his passion for writing just grew from there. After high school, he worked at a number of different jobs to pay the bills, always trying to keep music as an important part of his occupation. Eleven years ago, he finally quit his job as a bouncer in San Francisco and strapped on his guitar full-time.
A talented musician who writes, performs and produces his own music, Marco has drawn inspiration from experiences of life, and he writes what he knows. A combination of Folk, Alt Country, Pop, Rock, and Blues, Marco’s music defies easy categorization. Thank God for the category of Singer/Songwriter.
Currently, Marco just released his third CD of original songs entitled “Diary of a Recluse (And Other Short Stories).” It is a reflection of Marco’s personal growth and artistic evolution. A compilation of songs defined by honesty and a deep introspective focus, the result is a collection of powerful, poetic lyrics capturing moments of life in song. Candid, upfront and sincere, it is Marco honest to the core. His melodies are immediately memorable with an original sound that captures hearts with sincerity and soul. The album's personal themes are as varied as its musical textures. Denny Hemingson (pedal steel guitar player for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) adds rich melodies and layers of harmonies to Marco’s acoustic and electric guitar tracks.
Influences include: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen,David Gray, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, Glen Phillips, John Denver, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins…
