One Man Band, Marc Dobson
View full song videos here. |
Marc, started his "mission" to become a real One Man Band in April 2010 coming from 20 plus entertaining for a living as a musician working bars, private parties, supporting national acts, busking (street performing) and everything in between. The show is a true novelty act One Man Band, all live and mechanically controlled. A variety of serious music performance with sketched and improv comedy. Every One Man Band gig in 2011 has been a success. Every Fair & Festival worked in 2011 has hired him back next year. |

 Appearance is a bit comedic performing with a back pack drum kit AKA ‘The Contraption’ of Bass Drum, Snare, Crash & Splash Cymbals, Hi Hats and Tambourine while singing, playing guitar (with gadgetry to mimic a bass line) and harmonica. If seeing a picture only, you may think “hokey” which is taken advantage of as an element of surprise.
Performance is mainly an elusive serious music act, truly rivaling the sound of a band. All instruments are wirelessly miced utilizing more sound equipment than many bands. The performance can stump the average listener, musicians and even rocket engineers. Seriously, based on the Space Coast of Florida & it’s happened more than once. Almost more important than the music, Marc tries to build a relationship with every audience. In between and during songs sketched and improv comedy with audience interaction is used along with story telling of how this One Man Band came to be.
Presentation can be compared to a handful of One Man Bands or music acts in the world. To our knowledge, Marc has come closer to rivaling the sound of an average band then any all live mechanically controlled One Man Band found. With improv comedy and an audience member’s reaction on stage during an interactive bit, no two shows are alike.

Show grabs attention, people stop, take pictures and ask: "When is Marc coming back?” Adults typically wonder how, children imagine how they can.
