Marcus Anderson: A Legacy of Showmanship and Unforgettable Performances
Handpicked by the legendary Prince, Marcus Anderson is a seasoned musician known for his high-energy performances and charismatic stage presence. A master of the saxophone, Anderson combines his passion for contemporary jazz, funk, and R&B with slick dance moves, creating an electrifying atmosphere at every show. His concerts are not just events; they are full-fledged experiences, driven by infectious rhythms and melodies.
In addition to his touring schedule, Anderson hosts his own annual festival, MAJACE (Marcus Anderson Jazz AND Coffee Escape), now in its seventh year. This festival is an extension of Anderson’s entrepreneurial spirit, tied to his tenth anniversary as the founder of AND Coffee. Last year, Anderson wrapped up a successful 24-day holiday tour with fellow saxophonist Mindi Abair and vocalist Lindsey Webster.
This spring, Anderson will join Brian Culbertson for the New Orleans Jazz Getaway on March 13, followed by his debut as a headliner at the prestigious Berks Jazz Festival on April 12. With special guest R&B vocalist Kenny Latimore and bassist Julian Vaughn, Anderson will continue to dazzle audiences across the country, with performances scheduled at major events such as the Seabreeze Jazz Festival and the Algarve Smooth Jazz Festival.
Major Scale Management’s founder Gina McCain praised Anderson’s extraordinary talent: “Marcus Anderson is one of the most incredibly talented, driven, and imaginative musicians I’ve ever met. He brings an unprecedented level of artistry, showmanship, and entertainment to every performance.”
Anderson reflects on his unique approach to live music: “The stage is my playground. Every performance is an opportunity to connect with the audience. Music for me is an evolving journey, and I aim to create unforgettable experiences with every show. The connection between performer and audience is sacred, and I pour everything I have into it.”
Andrea Lisa: A Rising Star with Soulful Performances
Andréa Lisa, a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer, is a rising star in the music world. Though she released her debut album, Silver Lining, last year, the South African-born, New Zealand-raised artist is already a polished performer. Lisa’s soulful blend of instrumental jazz and powerful R&B vocals creates transformative live experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.
“I was immediately drawn to Andréa’s music and incredible voice. She embodies the essence of a true artist,” says Gina McCain. “Her heartfelt lyrics and the vibe of her music deeply resonate with listeners. I admire her self-awareness as an artist and the unique path she’s forging in the industry.”
Lisa’s spring and summer performances include appearances at Earl Klugh’s Weekend of Jazz on April 3 and the Berks Jazz Festival from April 10-13. She will also grace stages at the Newport Beach Jazz Festival in June, the Greater Hartford Jazz Festival, and MAJACE in July.
