Marc Albion

Bio

Marc Albion is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator whose performances bring together heartfelt vocals, expressive guitar and piano playing, and a spirit of improvisation. With a BA in Composition earned in the United States and an MMus in Performance from Kingston University in London, he pairs formal training with an instinctive, adventurous approach to making music.

For the past eight years, Marc has led Ol’ Scratch, performing throughout Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. His solo shows channel that bandleader’s energy into a one-man-band experience, building layers of sound through live looping. Stripped-back acoustic songs offer an intimate counterpoint to expansive, groove-driven jams.

Drawing from blues, rock, country, Americana, and funk, Marc blends original songwriting with covers spanning decades. Familiar songs take unexpected turns, and spontaneous improvisation makes each performance unique. Authentic, passionate, and musically curious, Marc Albion creates shows as varied as his influences—and unmistakably his own.

Marc Albion is a solo multi-instrumentalist and live-looping artist who creates a full-band sound in real time. Using acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and a percussion pad, he performs and layers every sound live, inviting audiences into the creative process.

Rooted in improvisation, his sets blend classic favorites, deep cuts, modern hits, and original songs with spontaneous jams that incorporate styles from blues and funk to house and reggaeton. Stripped-back acoustic covers and originals provide contrast to the layered looping performances, creating a dynamic show that unfolds differently every night.
