Alan in his Man Act solo performance was at Prankster’s Too Saturday night (5/2). Here is a video from another venue you can check out!

Marconias is living and laughing in Arizona. He is a favorite among local Phoenix musicians, loved by his peers.
Playing in bands off and on then striking out into the solo circuit. ASU pubs was many a venue to hear and experience his music.  Any coffee house or pub will welcome his style and wit.  His early musical influences were the Beatles, Neil Young, Eagles, now more recently listening to Patty Larkin, Loudon Wainwright, Steve Earle and the like.
Born in southern California, and growing up there, listening to his parents music collection, and inspired by the popular artists on the radio and TV.  Taking up the guitar in teenage years, having just a few lessons, learning songs and making them his own. (to this day) Besides performing for his adoring fans Marconias is a serious table tennis player and has the state trophies to prove it.   He is also an avid reader of history and science stuff.   A registered, informed, conscientious voter.

Hopeladders Dave Cook is blessed, idolized, and cursed with an undeniably large vocabulary. Somewhere between The Decemberists and Beck lies the life and times of HopeLadder, Dave Cook, and hyperliterate lyrical magnificence. Somewhere interspersed between folk and POP and Americana, Dave Cook scales the ladder of life’s literate roller coaster. The spins and stories of a life lived in the best of times and the worst of times. The stories told of then and now and maybe never was or maybe never will be. Dave Cook is a story teller with a dense and complicated lyrical prowess. His crafty stories intertwined and spun into a tapestry of how hope emulates despair and despair tantalizes hope. Wound with a blend of dark and light, and light to dark, dawns the reality that have become one and the same with peace and pain. With a melodic knack and piercing melodies, you feel the scars born of what could have been and what was once great,, even more than great,, the truly brilliant. Where inspiration comes from many fields, HopeLadders lyrical genious derives the battleground of life and the hope for the valiant. No matter how dark the words and melodies pierce, there is hope and there is HopeLadder. And if life reflects his lyrics, where you think you are going, may not be where you are destined. Only a life well lived could have created the treasure trove of HopeLadder. HopeLadders Dave Cook is an absolute lyrical master with a slathering of melodic genius. Enjoy,,,,,
