An energetic live solo performance of great pop songs.
Bio / Background
The debut live solo performance by Nicholas Markos was an opening set for a live broadcast of a Concrete Blonde concert in Chicago, captured on tape as "Live at the Vic."
The then-unknown singer rocked the roof off The Vic Theatre in Chicago with his energetic pop songs. You can hear the crowd's wildly enthusiastic reaction to originals like "Boy with the Big Green Jealous Head" and "Building Up," and the cover of "Pinball Wizard" blew their minds, complete with an insert from the Overture from "Tommy."
While his songs are compared to the thoughtful and emotive work of Paul Weller, Pete Townshend, Van Morrison, and David Gray ("He's like David Gray without the accent... or with the accent, depending on how you look at it, I guess..." - Swifty Lazar), the songs incorporate a range of elements that reveal both Markos's depth as a musician (in addition to guitar and bass, he was formally trained on viola and saxophone) and his egalitarian tastes.
