The debut EP features a well-rounded songwriting approach, from the loud and raucous “They Used To Call It The Blues” to the soft and vulnerable “Body Work”. Up and coming producer Brad Delava shared Marquis’ vision to go back to his roots and make a piece of music that was not over-produced, showcasing his raw vocal talent. “I went into the studio more prepared than ever; my attitude is, if I can’t sing it, I won’t.” says Marquis of his vocals on Snow Damage.
According to Alex DiVincenzo on absolutepunk.net, “Marquis has always been a skilled guitarist and provided pleasant backing vocals in Therefore I Am, but I was unaware of the true finesse of his voice prior to hearing his solo material.” In addition to vocals and guitar, Marquis also played harmonica, lap steel, percussion and piano on the EP.
Guest appearances on Snow Damage include Erick Serna (ex- The Dear Hunter), slide guitar on “Ratt Street”, Shawn Marquis (Vanna), bass on “The Way You Walk Away” and Dan Bob Goterch (Actor|Observer) percussion on tracks 1,3,5. The EP was mastered by Jeff Lipton (Bon Iver and City And Colour) and is available on CD and limited edition colored vinyl at www.brianmarquis.com, iTunes, AmazonMP3 and all other digital retailers as well as all Newbury Comics locations.
