Marc Atkinson's performance dazzles from bluegrass to jazz and everything in between.

The Marc Atkinson Trio lit up the Capitol Theatre in Nelson in April 2009. The audience
response was overwhelming and the theatre was filled with the warmth of their
performance. A must see musical force that the theatre will present again and again.

The Marc Atkinson Trio was fantastic. I already knew they would be great because they
were so heavily requested. They lived up to every expectation and much, much more.

The Marc Atkinson Trio. What extraordinary musicianship. Just when you think you
know where the music is going, it takes you down another road to somewhere else.
Music that's not easily labeled, it's music that is a treat for any music lover.

The Marc Atkinson Trio flawlessly transitioned from song to song, genre to genre, and
made their entire performance seem effortless. They are fluid players with serious chops
and our audience sat back and was treated to ace musicianship done with grace. At the
end of their set they were received with a standing ovation for their music. I highly
recommend this act.

I knew they would be perfect for our festival the first
time I heard them. It was a pleasure sharing that perfection with 1500 other
people . . . I love it when the performers make a hero out of me.

Having known Marc and his music for many years, I was thrilled to have him as part of a
truly all-star lineup at this years "Jazz In The Garden" in Qualicum. Marc and his trio
completely captivated the all ages audience and I'm sure he made many new fans that
day. On top of the music Marc and his group were great to deal with, totally pro with the
tight stage turnarounds and every other aspect of the performance.
