Album Notes

Gift of the Marcii (pronounced Mark-eye) is a collaboration between brothers Andrew and Aaron Marcus and their mother Peggy. Although the brothers have been playing music since an early age and Andrew has done previous recording, they only recently decided to play and record together as a family band.

And what a great idea that was! With accordion, piano, concertina, mountain dulcimer, vocal effects and various sorts of percussion, they have managed to create a rich and unusual sound, bringing a unique experience to the contra dance community in which they play.
