Marcus Jade performed at Sable’s Food & Art Performance Art Series on July 28th, 2023.

Marcus Jade is a blues musician, songwriter, and poet. Born and raised in Indiana, his exposure to a wide variety of music has informed his diverse musical influences, wherein he discovered his own unique style of ragged, heart-wrenching blues.

Since moving to New York City, he has developed a laser focus on his love for blues music. A renowned presence in the Brooklyn music scene, he has performed hundreds live shows ranging from intimate living room performances to well-attended music festivals.

His music reflects this duality, mirroring his fluctuations between the wilderness and the city, community and solitude. His sound is simultaneously as intimate as a whisper and as universal as a smile, both warmly communal and blisteringly solitary. It cuts to the heart of blues, staying true to its roots while seamlessly incorporating modern elements of folk and rock and roll.

Jade sings for the lonely and the lost, the furious and the eternal. His music is medicine for the wandering mind, redemption songs for our modern times, and his live shows are utterly transportive, mystical in their power and cleansing in their emotional intensity.
