Toronto Star review
Jazz/folk Accoustic Acoustic guitar in hand and fellow Trio members Chris Frye and Joey Smith at his side, former Quadra-ite Marc Atkinson returns to tear up the home turf with a catchy blend of folk, jazz, classical and world beat-influenced music that’s liberally infused with the laid back good humor of the west coast. Regular performers at folk and jazz festivals across North America, this trio of Juno-nominated musicians has received standing ovations at events ranging from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the North American Folk Alliance Conference. “…Atkinson is a daring & inventive acoustic guitarist and a powerful force in the new roots/jazz movement.”
