Marc Robillard

At The Mint, Los Angeles

As always, this venue continues to showcase the area’s best talent in an intimate setting. This young talent who hails from Canada, but now calls Los Angeles his home, is surely one of the areas up and coming stars. His beautiful lyrics and outstanding songwriting seem to cross genres seamlessly. Both mellow and upbeat, pop songwriter with a hint of country, his somewhat smoky voice causes his heartfelt lyrics to flow right into your ears and captivate. This particular night we were treated to new music, which armed with a set list, sans lyrics, its impossible recite his poetic treats back onto these pages. Having listened to his first EP, rest assured his new music is surely as soulful as were the instrumentals amazing, especially the lap steel guitar playing from his band mate which keeps your attention the entire time. Marc closes his set with “So Much More”, which was recently featured in a commercial for a snack product touting a biodegradable bag. With that said, a visit to his MySpace or Face book will have the reader looking for an opportunity to see Marc live. Finally, it seems that the ladies in the audience were quite enamored and attentive which doesn’t hurt his career either. LOL
