about
Joe Marson is a soulful singer/songwriter who combines wisdom and wit with lyrical guitar playing. Following a six-year, soul-searching journey across the United States (playing hip hop in Oregon, jazz in Boston, folk songs in Arizona, and blues-rock in Austin, Texas), Marson now lives in beautiful Brooklyn. After creating a loud buzz around the city, Joe Marson and the Satisfied Mind recorded its new EP Someday Soon with local legend, Jimi Zhivago (Norah Jones, Ollabelle), at East One Studios. The breakthrough record features four soaring new songs as well as four Marson classics, re- recorded to new sonic heights. The group continues moving audiences with their acoustic/electric performances all over the East Coast. What ingredients do you need to make a Joe Marson?

Marson wastes no time demonstrating his originality and fearlessnes
