 Marc Atkinson
Mandolin, guitar and vocals
Birthday: November 24
Marc Atkinson is a rare and supremely gifted musician and composer. Having built his musical
career as a jazz, folk, and rock guitarist, he combines technical and improvisational prowess
with a deep understanding of what makes rhythm and melody move people. Marc continually
pushes The Bills to go farther with their musical explorations.
At an early age he played
classical piano as well as drums, later taking up the guitar and completing a Jazz diploma at
Malaspina College. The mandolin is his latest instrumental conquest. He is co-producer of The
Bills’ studio work, and has released two successful CDs and tours regularly with his acoustic
gypsy swing guitar group, The Marc Atkinson Trio. Marc is known for his wickedly perceptive
sense of humour.
