MARC LEON
Marc Leon has been associated with many bands and artists who now form a part of Australian Music History. He has earned the respect of his peers as a musician who is not afraid to take on new challenges and constantly works on refining his skills as a composer and performer.

Marc began his musical career in 1960 as lead singer in local Rock & Roll bands and by 1966, his musical interests shifted towards Jazz, Blues and Soul. He was influenced by musicians such as Ray Charles, BB King , Wes Montgomery and the Soul artists who recorded for the "Stax" label.

Over the years, Marc has shared the stage with many International acts like The Kinks, Mungo Jerry, Bee Gees, Jose Feliciano, Fairport Convention and Roberta Flack. He worked as a studio session musician, as well as guitarist and musical director for several Australian Top Celebrities, including John Farnham, Colleen Hewett, Normie Rowe and John St. Peters.

Marc also taught guitar for many years in music schools and his home studio. Some of Marc's songs have made it into the finals of the American Song Festival (1976) and the MBAS Blues Performer Of The Year contest (1995).

HERE'S A REVIEW OF MY CD, *POWER OF THE BLUES* BY MY GOOD FRIEND WENDY RUDIN FROM SPIRIT FM 91.1 SPIRIT OF THE BLUES:

MARC LEON is very addictive. He rocks with the best of them. If you can listen to his CD and not move to his music, go see a doctor, you need a checkup!! Great music to dance to, move to or just listen to. Marc you are one of our best, no wonder you’ve performed with some of the top musos.

Vocals and instruments don’t fight each other, they come together like a dream. A great selection of songs with nothing repetitive. Don’t miss out on your copy of **The Power Of the Blues** - Get It Now!

Fabulous CD, Marc and all the very best for the future. Don’t ever stop playing and singing as you’re a fantastic example of our wonderful Aussie musicians

I’ll be very proudly playing Marc on my Spirit of the Blues show & I know the listeners will enjoy him as much as I do.

Congratulations Marc, you’re very special.

Colleen's Book Cover

My friend Colleen's book, THE WONG WAY TO MARRY is available globally in good bookstores and on-line now. An epic tale of forbidden love, music and mayhem, a hilarious and heartwarming story of growing up ethnic and the consequences of defying tradition. Set in the 1970s, it is an era of rock n roll music, clothes to match, long hair and post sexual revolution freedoms.

*THE WONG WAY TO MARRY* is one of the most entertaining books I've read in years. Colleen's casual, honest and descriptive writing style got me involved from the first paragraph. For an old Blues/Rocker like me, reading this book was like re-living those days. For those of you too young to experience that era, her story will make you wish you'd been there.

Check out Colleen's page on www.myspace.com/colleenpoulter for details about getting your copy now

Hi there Sweet Stranger!!
Come by and visit my new blog. It's not like I have many visitors, really, so I need all the support of my shananigans that I can get at this point! lol
Anyhow, I sure have missed you bunches!
Did you check your emial? Just curious.
Ohhhhh Marc, I'm getting younger and tireder! lol
Am going to pick my oldest son up from work here in the middle of the night here in just a bit.
I'm beginning to let paranoia set in and am wondering if my kids are plotting to kill me.....but you know the crazy thing about it..if they aren't patient, they'll get screwed out of any insurance money! lol
Well, thinking of you and had to come by and show some mad love.
Hope you are all chipper and jamming regularly.

Hi BB,
after many months, I'm back hopefully.
Sorry haven't been in touch, but was off the net for months & when on it, had probs with it. Now We're back up and hopefully running ok.
Life has been tough, but kind of used to it. I can't complain, there are others worse off I guess!
Hope you are well and one day soon, hope to catch up.
Still in middle of moving and will be till Sept.
Please give my Regards to the Guys...Still Rockin'Right?
Take care,
with all my very best wishes to you,
Cheers BB,
Lil'Sis Lizzzy
Have a Great day!

Thank you, Marc for the GREAT interview. I received a lot of emails from people thanking me for turning them on to your music and praising me for having the good sense to put you on my next CD. You are a consumate player, the one that every bandleader hopes to find to add a special touch and some magic to the music they play. I would hire you in a minute if I could-you are brilliant and a spectacular man. I'm so proud to know you!
Your fan and friend sending love,
Monica
