Marc Delgado
Marc Delgado is a singer/songwriter, poet & storyteller from Woodstock, NY. His recent studio album: Wildwood Road is filled with cinematic, psychedelic snapshots of his days of addiction & violence, living out of motels up & down California’s San Joaquin Valley. Woven into these scenes are songs of loss & survival, redemption, recovery & love. Recorded in Hurley, NY at Hurley Sound with producer & band mate, Justin Tracy, Delgado has thrown his hat into the ring & announced his arrival in The Catskills as an artist to be noticed. Along with Tracy on drums, Delgado’s band consists of virtuosos, Todd Nelson on guitar & James Alanson Kirk on bass. Their performances are a mix of spoken-word, jazz improv, art rock, folk music, guerrilla theatre, lush vocal harmonies & loud rocknroll. When not performing with his band, Delgado plays constantly as a one-man show. Part folkie, poet, raconteur & stand-up comic, Delgado tells stories & shares his experience from dark to light & all the shadows in between. With two live solo records under his belt: Live at Pete’s Candy Store Volumes I & II Delgado keeps moving forward finding his truest self on the stage. He is currently at work on a new studio album & his book, The Black Socks: A book of stories & poems & other stuff that may or may not have actually happened… is due out this Winter.

Delgado is a skilled craftsman who has seen many things, good & bad, that have made him into a self-aware artist who performs with an old school edge & truly effortless charm… {Delgado} clearly loves telling stories, he is a true singer-songwriter who is all about the journey to seeking that much needed self-enlightenment. -A&R Factory

Interview on Medium
w poet JoAnn Stevelos
Marc {has an} authentic voice and {a} gift for pushing lyrics into a space where he seeks refuge in the solace of acceptance and repentance. Delgado beautifully commands an existential freedom in reciting poetry, spoken word all the while sanctioning the life he has known and the one he has now. The record holds a strong narrative of the harsh ironies of surviving a dark past that becomes a life you like, a sober life that allowed him to reimagine something better for himself.

From the moment you hear
Delgado’s voice, it grabs your attention and draws you in. Delgado is a storyteller not only in his written words but in how he delivers them. The dimensions in his voice reflect a sense of peace and tranquility one moment and passion and pain in another. Listening to Delgado sing it’s easy to get lost in the layers of his voice. It’s from a past filled with challenges and overcome hurdles that Delgado has written the beautifully soulful and self-reflective Wildwood Road. Wildwood Road’s wonderfully simple acoustic guitar melodies are a perfect accompaniment for his textured voice and emotion-filled words.

My daughter was four when we were attacked
By wasps in the front yard of our house
In upstate New York
Where we weathered the early years of her life,
The pandemic & my fathers death.
