Chris DeMarco began his career in music as a much sought-after musician and band
front man, having shared the stage and played with a virtual who’s who of
super-musicians of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. After deciding to leave behind the glare
of the bright lights of Hollywood and the ever-pulsing New York music scene,
DeMarco settled into the cadence of more laid back climes that now finds him at
his most serene self. He now has two CDs on his self-distributed label Dreamco
Music and shows himself to be in fine musical form as he treats us to a volume
of classic fare meant to please the true Rock aficionados among us.The latest CD is
simply called "Chris DeMarco - The 80's". The songs on the new CD were
recorded in
New York in the 1980's and have now
been released for the first time. If you are a fan of 80's music, you are in for
a real treat! Some of the great musicians who played on these tracks include Bob
Kulick (KISS, Meatloaf), Doug Katsaros (Aerosmith, BonJovi, Elton John), Thommy
Price (Billy Idol, Ron Wood, Blue Oyster Cult), and Yogi Horton (John Lennon,
Aretha Franklin, The B-52’s).
â€
Lost
and Found†is an aptly named album that weaves together DeMarco’s past and
present musical contributions into one cohesive work, featuring Dick Wagner
(Alice Cooper Band), Tommy Talton (Gregg Allman Band and Cowboy), Ken Mazur
(Robert Palmer Band), and Barry Richman (Lynard Skynard) on Guitar; Billy
Langley, keyboards; Rhys Clark (Billy Joel Band and Freddy Fender Band) playing
drums; and Jim Fielder (Buffalo Springfield, Blood Sweat and Tears and Neil
Sedaka) on Bass. Billy Joel and Michael Monarch (Steppenwolf) appear on the
bonus track Sail Away.
Chris DeMarco, whose experience in the entertainment industry spans over four decades, has also given his musical influence to documentaries, television and radio commercials as well as two film scores. Troma's War released in 1988 by Troma Entertainment featured music composed and produced by DeMarco, including the title track "Alive". (Chris also played a terrorist in a short scene!) Toxic Avenger III - The Last Temptation of Toxie was released in 1989 (also by Troma Entertainment) and boasted music composed and produced by Chris DeMarco based on music by Antonin Dvorak.
Currently residing in the
Atlanta ,
Georgia area, Chris
DeMarco has proven his mettle as a legitimate artist time and time again. From
his glory days as a front man for the Island Records recording act Riff Raff,
which he formed in 1977, to his contributions to the work of the legendary cadre
of musicians he also calls friends, Chris DeMarco’s music and artistry has stood
the test of time. Still in his musical prime, and uncompromising in his
commitment to making excellent music, he is without a doubt the stuff legends
are made of.
