Dear listeners,
I am currently on an airplane heading from Toronto to Vancouver, cant wait to see everyone. I will be catching up and working with Tim Steinruck (The mighty one), also I will be meeting Mark Rosner (President of Big Records) for the first time in person. We have spoken countless times over the internet but never in person. I will be staying on Pender Island for a couple of days. I am hoping to work with Sarah Smith in the studio so we can finish up the song we wrote together in April. I am so grateful to Sarah for her help and support. I am also looking forward to the quiet and peacefulness. Reflection and grounding are necessary.
We are just waiting on word from Sony/Orchard confirming a release date for our newest single Dangerous. Both Tim Steinruck and I are waiting patiently. We will be shooting a video for Dangerous!! Dangerous was written by Tim Steinruck specifically for me to sing on. It was recorded at Begin Street Studios in Coquitlam, BC in Canada. I am very excited to be a part of something so big!
I have teamed up with Shaine Derrick and Tim Pitman in the UK. Tim is an amazing musician and producer. Shaine sounds absolutely legendary on the guitar. We have completed a new song “Room 503”. Tim did an absolute marvellous job of mixing and producing. I hope to have the pleasure of working with them for a long time to come.
I met Shaine on a flight from Schipol airport to Johannesburg in South Africa in 2010. It was New Year’s Eve so everything at the airport was closed and our next flight to Cape Town was at 6am. We found the only place still open, a small coffee shop. We sat and chatted all night. When I met my sister in South Africa for the first time Shaine had taken a picture of us as we met. I had no idea he had taken the picture and I was very surprised to find the picture in my inbox. Shaine is thoughtful in that way. Here we are over a decade later and working together. Isn’t life interesting?
A few weeks ago I was approached by Bentley Records saying that they would love to have me back. Needless to say I now belong to Big Records and Bentley records. Still trying to sort out which songs to release through Big Records/Sony/Orchard and which ones to release through Bentley.
We will be touring with RiseUp TV in 2024. First a tour of Ontario and Quebec and then off to Newfoundland. Join up with hived music to see what is happening with RiseUp! ((expired link)).
I will be making videos throughout my time in Vancouver so stay tuned!!
Yours in sound,
DustyMarcus
Dear listeners,
We have had a crazy August. Both myself and my spouse had Covid, I ended up with viral pneumonia and she was diagnosed with something called Brugada syndrome which is a very serious heart condition. As those of you who have been watching my videos you will see that I had a bunch of health things going on as well. The good news is that they have cut or switched some meds and I am feeling much better. Going to test my voice today to see if it’s back. When they did the endoscopy my throat and voice were pretty much shot. I am hoping September will be kinder.
We are moving ahead with the Gordon Lightfoot tribute show. It will feature most of Gordon Lightfoot’s hits plus a few covers and some originals. It will be a great night out!!
For those who are interested in vocal training I would recommend Jan Cooper. His knowledge of music and his demeanour are amazing. When I was first looking at meeting with him I was a little intimidated and by that I mean I was really intimidated!! Within 30 seconds we were doing great and I we became fast friends. Check him out at (expired link)
We are also getting ready for the release of Dangerous!! We will be doing a photoshoot in the coming week or two (Rudy Graf is the photographer) . Speaking of Rudy, if any of you are in to photography you need to check him out. He took a picture of an eagle the other day that literally blew my mind!! (expired link)
I will be letting you know the exact release date for Dangerous as soon as I know. We were shooting for October 2nd but let’s see. I will be in the Vancouver area on or around October 10th. I am looking forward to writing a new song with Tim Steinruck (The Mighty One) and also shooting a video for Dangerous.
In the meantime here are the links to our latest release Stay plus the videos.

On a sadder note we lost an artist in August, Glen Caine was a fantastic country musician. He was very well known in the country music circles and he had played with many well known country artists including Merle Haggard. He will be missed by all of us. Please check out (expired link) for more information and the music of Glen Cain.
I hope you all are enjoying September, it’s getting a little darker a little earlier now. The trees leaves will be changing soon giving us a wonderful gift of colour and outright beauty. Remember to take in these amazing gifts from mother earth.
Yours in sound,
DustyMarcus
Dear listeners,
I hope you are all having an amazing week!! Unfortunately the Dorchester Golf and Country Club has cancelled the Golf for MS event scheduled for this coming weekend (July 29th, 2023). I am disappointed but there will be more shows coming up. We have a new version of Night Train that we will be releasing called “Night Train Live!”. It has been posted in some areas online (N1M) and Facebook but its official release date is currently unknown. Keep your ear to the ground because it will be out there for you to hear.
We are continuing to rehearse for the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute show and shows are set to begin in the fall.
I was thinking of something the other day. About 5 or 6 years ago I was in pretty bad shape. I had sold all my equipment including my beloved guitars, amps, mics, even my watch in order to survive. 2 long time friends of mine who are brothers got together with me for coffee. With them they had a purple Fender Squire. They gave me that guitar so I could carry on playing. It actually changed the course of my life and those guys (they know who they are) probably saved my life. The guitar still sits in my collection and I will never part with it. It is a reminder to me every day to NEVER give up on yourselves, ever. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!

I have just written a new song called Room 503, we will be performing it live at our shows but it won’t be officially released until sometime in 2024.
We hope you have an amazing and memorable summer with friends and family (if you are in the northern hemisphere). Remember to use sunscreen and never leave anybody in a car on a hot day. By anybody I am including both children and animals. Remember they cant get up and roll a window down to get some air. And a huge keep warm and dry (for my friends south of the equator).
Take care of yourselves and watch for our next newsletter in August,
