Marc Robert Nelson is one of those folksy mellow singer/songwriters who hails from Gatineau.
He used to be the guy who did TV installs for Rogers TV.
One day he was installing a digital box in a young woman?s apartment. She was a recovering addict and who until very recently had been homeless.
On her wall she had written a poem on the wall an affirmation to be sure?and the title was Strong and Ready for Life.
Later that year Mark saw her on a street corner with very tall leather boots?and no he didn?t stop to say Hi.
That brief encounter was the inspiration for this track ?Strong and Ready?.
I spent the entire afternoon listening to Marc?s musical offerings on his Soundcloud page and it was musical bliss.
His vibe reminds me of a cross between James Taylor meets David Gray meets John Mayer meets Marc Broussard?yet his vibe is uniquely his own.
I love his sound and all his songs were a treat to listen to.? He?s one local artist that I look forward to seeing live.
