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.
