Marc Barnhill

Static on the StairwaysNothing to Hold On TohomenewsshowspressmusicphotosvideosinfoNothing to Hold On ToBlue TimeStatic On The Stairwayshome of a Coney Island side street and a Carolina dirt road, Marc Barnhill writes songs that deal with longing, loneliness, and loss, but also with acceptance, courage, and renewal. A longtime regular on New York's acoustic live music scene, Marc has developed a reputation for insightful lyrics and soulful performances, producing a steady stream of fragile ruminations on relationships and tough examinations of personal responsibility.Marc performs his rootsy blend of traditional folk, urban Americana and literate singer- songwriter music both solo and with his band, The Sorely Missed. At the imaginary intersectionNEWFALLENMUSICindependentsupportmusic.newsnewsA new album, Static on the Stairways, collects live solo performances of some of Marc's best songs. Meanwhile, work has begun on Circles of Surprise, a full band album including "Mercy Trail," "Burnt House Hollow," "Never to Know," and "The Golden Boy Has Gone Away for Good." Marc and the band also headline the Marc Barnhill and Friends evening at Vox Pop, a showcase for original songwriting, on the second Friday of each month.

(QtrNote)"There's a lot of good indie music out there, but Marc Barnhill's mix of catchy tunes, strikingly disparate production elements, and probing self-examination make for a winning combination." (Alloy Radio)"Levels above your average New York folkie fare: literate, perceptive, heartbreaking stuff." (TradeBit)"Something interesting happens when Marc Barnhill performs at a cafe: people actually listen. For sheer craft, Barnhill is simply one of the very best lyricists and songwriters around..." (CD Baby)"...a beautiful mixture of harmony and profoundly romantic and soulful lyrics. Marc Barnhill is a man no guy would want at a bonfire." (Starved Magazine)"Solid songs, beautiful harmonies, and thoughtful performances. Marc Barnhill is an outstanding artist." (CD Universe)"Honesty, humor, sensitivity and intelligence collide with irresistible tunes in Marc Barnhill's internal soundscape." (ARTISTdirect)"Marc Barnhill is a Greenwich Village favorite and a first-class songwriter. His songs are something special, and you really have to listen." (The Listening Room)"If ever Beck jams with the Allman Brothers at Billy Joel's house, they'll probably produce something that sounds like what's on this record. Let's just hope they get Barnhill to write the lyrics." (BUY Music)"...introspective ballads and rootsy folk-pop..." (Time Out New York)"...memorable tunes and smart lyrics, thoughtfully assembled..." (Audio Lunchbox)"...a tuneful blend of acoustic folk and bouncy pop with atmospheric arrangements...a mix of energetic mood explorations and quiet intensity, harmonic and haunting." (Tower Records)"...great songs, excellent lyrics and tight harmonies, and rich textured vocal technique..." (Underground Music Online)"The overall effect is one of serious, almost literary attention to emotional detail, of poetry without pretension..." (Whisperin & Hollerin)"...amidst all the wordplay come these quiet, understated moments of real empathy....This is smart stuff, and no less evocative for being smart." (Sonic Garden)"An unusual and special collection of songs....Some of it's funny and much of it is sad, and all of it is almost painfully direct; there's no wasted space..." (Mperia)"Barnhill demonstrates a penchant for smart, emotional songs and lean, unaffected presentation." (New York Songsmiths)"...wordiness never eclipses actual personal insight.... Metaphors pile up until the compression squeezes out diamonds of recognition...which is to say that Barnhill does what any good songwriter is supposed to do: he pays attention." (Pandora)"Marc Barnhill's music is like a freshly squeezed orange....You wake up and pour yourself a fresh glass of O.J. and look out the window and it's a beautiful sunny day. That's Marc's music."
