Response from Marc LeGrand Music:
Thank you for the kind words, Eric! Wishing you both a life filled with adventures, happiness, and rewarding challenges.
Marc came through for me at the last minute and I’m glad he did. A really nice guy and easy to work with. He played guitar for a surprise 40th and it was great. Many guests came up to say how perfect his addition was to the party. Thank you Marc. I would be happy to work with you again !
The presence of Marc LeGrand help set the tone for the session. He presented, poised himself and provided a visible presence on a digital track. I am thankful that he added a structural component to the session. So, yes, I am all on team Marc Legrand!

Was very professional, and did exactly what was asked of him, very difficult gig big room, but he did a standup job
Marc was perfect. relaxed, extremely skilful, and totally in tune with the vibe. He was able to improvise solo as well as play along with 2 other musicians without any practice in a totally convincing and powerful way. Would absolutely recommend for any event. He was also extremely personable and got along with everyone and make the event a big success.
Great guitarist with a positive energy that helped the performance
Extremely professional and polite. Accompanied the party perfectly. They 'filled in the space' and everyone enjoyed them.
If you’re looking for a world-class performer that can rock your event with Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, and more, then you’ve found the right guy for the job. Marc made our event a night worth remembering with his positive spirit and sensational music... A definite favorite for future events with our company. Highly recommend.

Marc LeGrand was born in San Francisco, California and raised in the quiet suburbs of Menlo Park. At age five, he picked up the clarinet. Shortly after, music turned into a passion that quickly began to encompass his life. After a few years of falling in love with the beauty of Classical music, Marc was encouraged by his father and uncle to pick up the guitar. Critically acclaimed Classical guitarist Mark Aitkin provided Marc with his first lesson on the instrument. It took just a few interactions for Mr. Aitkin to realize Marc's "natural touch and quick comfortability" with the instrument, at which point he urged him to continue theoretical studies.
After touring around the country with the Blazing Redheads, world-renowned Jazz/Latin jazz pianist Patricia Thúmas decided to take her nephew, Marc, under her wing. As his mentor, Patricia provided Marc with the majority of his music education throughout his years in elementary and middle school. By the time he graduated high school, Marc had already attended the American Conservatory Theater (studying the Alexander Technique and Character Analysis) and Stanford University's prestigious Jazz Studies program on full scholarship for three consecutive years. Marc received the majority of his Jazz influence from the educational and collaborative opportunities he had from Stanford. In the years leading up to his relocation from California to New York, Marc gave performances at the KCSM Jazz Festival, San Francisco Carnaval Salsa Festival, Stanford Jazz Festival, Redwood City Summer Concert Series, Delta Jazz Festival, Santa Rosa Salsa & Latin Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival, Yoshi's SF, San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival, and Stanford Park's Artist Residency Series for which he collectively received awards and recognition for his "excellent musicianship."
Furthermore, Marc has been fortunate enough to study under incredible musicians throughout his life such as: Ndugu Chancler (former drummer for Michael Jackson), Robben Ford (former guitarist for Miles Davis and George Harrison), Chris Potter, Taylor Eigsti (former protégé of Dave Brubeck), Dayna Stephens (GRAMMY nominee), Joe Lovano (GRAMMY winner), John Calloway (multi-GRAMMY nominee), Tupac Mantilla (GRAMMY nominee), Julian Lage (GRAMMY nominee), Joe Gilman (Great American Jazz Piano Competition winner), Kristen Strohm, George Cables, Akira Tana, Ruth Davies (GRAMMY winner), Chuck MacKinnon (former Trumpeter for Norah Jones and John Mayer), John Santos (seven-time GRAMMY nominee), David Yamasaki, Eric Harland (GRAMMY nominee), Mike Galisatus (former trumpeter for The Temptations), Albert "Tootie" & Jimmy Heath, Rick Vandivier, Ken Crane (former trombonist for Frank Sinatra), Charles McPherson, Andrew Speight, Mike Moreno, Yosvany Terry, and Patrick Wolff.
At age sixteen, Marc made his recording debut as a sideman and contributing composer in flutist virtuoso John Calloway's album featuring the L.J.Y. Ensemble of San Francisco and legendary, GRAMMY nominated trumpeter Jerry Gonzalez.
Marc attended the Greatbatch School of Music in New York on scholarship and holds a Bachelor’s of Music degree in Guitar Performance (Double Bass, secondary instrument) with a focus in Composition/Improvisation. Today, he continues to practice, perform, and teach.
Any and all equipment is provided with every purchase of Marc’s services. Complimentary inclusion of additional time for setup and soundcheck is also part of every one of his musical experiences.
