Prepare to be inspired by groundbreaking singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso Marcus Eaton, hailed as “one of the best young singer-songwriters in America – maybe even the world” by the legendary David Crosby. With a career spanning over 20 years, Marcus has redefined what it means to be a singer-songwriter, blending captivating lyrics, intricate melodies, and unparalleled guitar mastery.
Born into a musical legacy as the son of acclaimed songwriter Steve Eaton (The Carpenters, Art Garfunkel), Marcus discovered his love for the guitar at the age of nine and has since carved out a remarkable solo career. His unique style weaves together influences from flamenco, classical, jazz-funk, reggae, and more. Along the way, he has worked with an impressive roster of artists, including Derek Trucks, Graham Nash, Stephen Bishop, Flea, Bob Dylan, and Toots and the Maytals.
In this episode, Marcus shares stories of his creative partnership with David Crosby, including co-writing songs and composing the Grammy-nominated score for David Crosby: Remember My Name. We’ll also dive into his experience navigating the music business, exploring its highs and lows. This episode features his new standout single, “Better Way,” produced by Eric Robinson and recorded with John Mayer’s band.
