His songs are currently featured in two motion pictures; Twilight and Five Dollars a Day, and he’s about to embark on a tour of America in August. 'Let Me Sign' is written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long, available on itunes.

Marcus...it's been awhile since I said hello. Glad you have added so many U.S. dates for Dec. I just wish I could go to one. ~sigh~ I haven't enough money and time to make it work. So excited you are recording. Keep us posted on that and when you will be able to return to the States next spring. Take care. Stacey
