Marcus Rezak is one of those musicians who is never content to stand still, either stylistically or geographically. Originally from Chicago, now based in LA, the visionary guitarist has traveled a winding path to arrive at the here and now. He has an extensive catalog of original music, while also focusing on various cover projects including Shred is Dead and Gumbo: A Phish Experience (seen multiple times here at the Crazy Horse). The music of Phish has been particularly influential for him since seeing his first show in ’99. He’s even gone so far to purchase a G2 Paul Languedoc and assemble a rig to achieve a similar sound to Trey Anastasio. Any true Phish fan knows that one of Trey’s primary influences is Frank Zappa. He famously claimed that Zappa played the best guitar solo he ever witnessed live. Playing this music isn’t just a casual lark for Rezak. He has performed and worked with original members of the Zappa band, including Ike Willis, Arthur Barrow, Bobby Martin, Ray White, Chad Whackerman, and Moore. Arthur Barrow even appears on his album, Gateway to the Galaxy. The intricate essence of Zappa’s music flows through his veins!
