Season 31 - Show 2
Marcus Trummer weaves blues, soul, R&B, and rock into a modern sound steeped in tradition. Dubbed “a precocious guitarist whose vocals possess a wise-beyond-his-years weariness” by the Calgary Herald, the young artist from the Canadian city of Calgary has built a reputation as a compelling live performer off the back of playing shows throughout Western Canada. Trummer’s songwriting has also earned him recognition with his single, Running on My Own, receiving the award for Blues Recording of the Year at Calgary's YYC Music Awards in 2022. That same year, he was also nominated for New Artist of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards in Toronto. As the recent winner of the Telluride Blues Challenge, Trummer continues to establish his place as a prominent emerging artist on the current blues and soul music scenes.
